AVID, or Advancement Via Individual Determination, exists to help students, and in this final episode of our AVID miniseries, we get to hear from former students who went through the program and can attest, with first-person experience, how much it helped them.
So far in this miniseries, we’ve heard the district perspective and the school-level perspective and, in both cases, the viewpoints of administrators and educators. But what about the people who are supposed to benefit from this program? That’s why we reached out to a couple of graduates of the Legend High School AVID program. Zoe (Class of 2016) and Liv (Class of 2021) are now fully embarked on their respective careers, and in this conversation they tell us how AVID helped prepare – and push – them as they chased their goals and dreams.
Liv and Zoe talk about why they needed the AVID program, how it gave them tools as well as a supportive community so they could grow as students, how it prepared them for college and careers, and how every day they still use what they learned several years ago.
Listen to this episode, and you’ll hear about resilience, collaboration, perseverance, confidence, achievement and so much more.
