Mesa Community College
ACE Program
“ACE taught me that life might not be ideal but if you put in the effort, you’ll see the results. I didn’t allow opportunities to pass me by. I learned from the program that opportunities are out there, you have to seek them out and apply for them. Half the battle is showing up for the opportunity. What you put in is what you’re going to get out of it.”
