I strongly believe Dream Academy has had a dramatic impact in developing my cultural pride and overall character. I love how Dream Academy focuses not only on making dreams attainable, but it actually makes them a reality. Just as I was, the youth of Salinas is being positively shaped by all the motivational speakers, core activities and overall networking that the Dream Academy offers us. It has set me on a course that is going to allow me to do big things for me and my community!
