PeerForward Voices:

HEAR FROM AN ADMINISTRATOR:

“A student came to the PeerForward event but didn’t want to apply, just listen. Our students convinced him that applying to more schools could be his first victory step towards a future career, and what’s the harm in a free application? He applied and was accepted! Peer Leadership made the difference.”

— Sunta Harris,
Advisor, Dr. Henry Wise High School

HEAR FROM A STUDENT:

“Applying to college gives me confidence that when I go back to Syria, I can help other kids. I want my peers to feel confident about college and believe you can always change your future, follow your own lead and beliefs.”

— Waseem Bjbuj,
‘23 Central High School, Peer Leader Nazareth College ’22

HEAR FROM A STUDENT:

“Every workshop, Peer Leaders talk about battling their obstacles and overcoming them. It pushes me to do it too. When you meet obstacles, don’t shy away. Greet them, embrace them, because overcoming is what will lead you to where you want to be and WHO you want to be.”

Chidozie Ukwandu,
Peer Leader Alumnus UMBC Class of 2022.(After completing his Biology degree, Chidozie plans on grad school & joining the healthcare field, “because that’s where the real heroes are.”)
