[My coach said] that it doesn’t matter if you make mistakes on the court, you’ll learn from them. It’s important to have a role model to look up to because they can motivate you and you can learn from them. It’s like someone that went through that time with you and didn’t give up. When I have Paul by my side, it’s like he’s going through the steps with me.”
6th grade
Being part of the Apex community is enjoyable because I can choose my own space. I feel glad to have friends from outside of school and family. I think I’ve changed since five years ago. It’s a real learning experience. I learned some disability actions; I wrote a poem about autism. I learned about myself and my mental health since I’ve joined Apex.”
11th grade
Apex has already given me so much—how could I ask for more? But I’ve learned to embrace every opportunity. Once I really got involved in Apex, I didn’t see it as giving back to the community; I saw it as another opportunity to grow.
