"I can't thank you enough for everything you have done for B and really our entire family. You took so much stress out of the selection and application process. We never hesitate to recommend you to other parents. M and I have discussed that paying for your services is some of the best money we have ever spent."
-DM (parent) c/o 2021
"Thank you so much, Cassie!!  You were amazing to work with, and we can’t thank you enough for all of your help/support for B.  He will be finishing summer school classes @ A&M next week, and then the real fun begins for the Corps of Cadets - freshman orientation! I will be back in touch in about a year to work with his younger brother..."

"Mrs. Friend is the kind of person you want in your life in this season of choosing colleges, but she is also a person you'll come to want in all of your seasons in life. I'll spend much of my life thanking her for what she did for me."

She helped me excel in English like I never have before. I couldn’t honestly thank Mrs. Friend enough for being the best teacher I’ve ever had. 
​-Taylor, Community College
"Mrs. Friend has been such a positive impact. She is genuine and she really cares about everyone."
