She states \u201cThe staff were very honest about my ability to attend college and be successful, coming from a low income family, it was great to get help and guidance through the college process in order to prepare for a brighter future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nadvia graduated from <a href=\"https:\/\/gustavus.edu\/\">Gustavus Adolphus College<\/a> in 2011,\u00a0 majoring in Communications Studies, and a double minor in English and Geography.

College applications are a pain, but just be proactive with each part. Don\u2019t be afraid to ask for help too! I am so happy to have been a part of the Educational Talent Search program.
