Isabella joined GO in first grade when she was at risk of being held back. With individualized academic support and a nurturing environment, she built confidence in herself and her abilities. “When I first came in, I was going to get left back and GO really opened my eyes to how important my education was and provided me with extra support that I was not getting in regular school.”
Today, Isabella attends the High School of Art and Design, where she majors in graphic design. As a GO Getter intern, she’s come full circle, working with first graders in the same classrooms where she once learned. “I didn’t think I’d be interested in teaching,” she says, “but now I love it. I get to see the world through their eyes.”
