From Lauren, a Merigroupie:
Like most high school kids, I am not particularly an expert on completing my homework, studying for an SAT, or looking into college. Yes, these are all crucial steps to attending a good school after high school, but sometimes they amass into such an intimidating group of tasks, it’s hard to find the time or the right approach needed to tackle them when trying to balance an ever so hectic teenage agenda. This is where MeriEducation came in for me.
Prior to my Junior year of high school, I had very little knowledge of the SAT and was completely clueless as to what material it tested. Naturally, my initial response to signing up for a diagnostic SAT test was not entirely an enthusiastic one. I began with a score in the 1700 range, shrugged, and thought, “Oh, what the hey? Sure, I’ll take some SAT prep classes, I could get my score a bit.” And so began my relationship with MeriEducation, and it quickly grew into a pleasant one. As I progressed with my classes, my laziness started to melt away as my teachers pushed me to reach my potential. Once I realized the importance of the test and the results I could achieve if I focused and worked hard on my studies, I was able to snag myself a score of 2000, and I definitely owe this feat to Joan and the tutors of MeriEducation. Inspired to become a better student all around, I began math tutoring in order to rescue my pre-cal grade from being dashed on the cliffs of procrastination and confusion. Though math is not exactly “my thing”, I was able to get my first A ever in a high school math class after working with the tutors of MeriEducation to improve my competence, as well as confidence, for Pre Calculus. Immersed in a new born drive for success, I found a second home in a place that came equipped with study materials and staffed with intelligent, friendly people who genuinely wanted to see me succeed. It might be a little corny of me to say this, but yes, MeriEducation has become something like a family to me. It’s hard to imagine how a teenage girl like myself could get so much enjoyment from a program that revolves around school, but it’s the truth! Scouts honor! I can even say that one of my favorite memories from this past summer was the Merieducation college tour. I could go on and on about how happy all these school related things make me but you might start to think I’m a bit off my rocker.
MeriEducation is the ideal place to attend if you’re looking for help in school, testing, or the pursuit of college acceptance letters. I would say it’s near impossible to not be instilled with the desire to achieve when working in an atmosphere that radiates ambition. Had it not been for MeriEducation, I would have never become the exemplary student I am today…not to toot my own horn or anything, though.
