Before Hope Ignites, I never thought about college, entrepreneurship, opportunities of growth in corporate America, and many other things. Hope Ignites provided me and provides our scholars with opportunities and shows them that there’s a bigger world out there than the one we came from. It’s all about changing circumstances and showing our scholars that there is a chance.

Hope is that feeling you get when no matter what obstacles are in your path, you think to yourself, ‘I can do it’. You may see others achieve higher than you, but no matter what happens, you always strive for the goal you keep close to your heart.
