Beacon was an amazing life changing experience for me! Everything went wrong in the days & weeks prior to me going, it was like something was trying to keep me from being there.... I am so glad I didn’t give up & made it! I may not have had but $50 to my name but I left there extremely wealthy! I hope to return as an alumni!
