I am happy and blessed, but beyond that I cannot find the words to express my gratitude and appreciation towards HS2 Academy. To put simply, HS2 Academy brought out the potential that was in my son, Joshua Ren, and led him to where he is now, an admitted student to the Class of 2022 at Stanford University.
Before knowing about HS2, I knew that, like many other gifted kids, Joshua had the potential to do great things. However, in order for him to achieve this, Joshua needed to receive a fascinating and, for lack of a better term, mind-boggling education at a top school. Both I and Joshua’s mother knew we could do little to help him with this path; however, we came to the conclusion that we would turn to HS2 Academy for the insight and guidance that they could provide.
Joshua had been with another college preparatory organization before, but HS2 treated Joshua differently than the other organization had; they treated Joshua as a growing person. HS2 understood Joshua’s potential, and the staff there did everything in their power to promote and nurture it. Each counseling meeting was consistent, social, and friendly. Patrick and Katheryn gave Joshua numerous pieces of great advice and really impressed us with their dedication and professionalism, while Mandy provided Joshua with other great support. I remember staying in one of the meetings, and it amazed me how much it flowed like a productive conversation, with the counselor promoting Joshua’s strengths and constructively critiquing and improving his weaker sides. Honestly, the team at HS2 is very organized and developed Joshua into being a well-rounded and unique individual. I can undoubtedly say that HS2 pushed Joshua to his limits, and I am so thankful that HS2 techniques and guidance sparked the inner drive inside of Joshua.
