Kingsborough ASAP Alumni Profiles and Interviews
"[D]uring my first semester at Kingsborough, I did not know that I was supposed to do. I realize now that it was joining the ASAP program that truly set me on track. The truly unique aspect of the ASAP program is how easy it is to join and just how easy your life is afterwards. You always have someone who wants to know how you are doing and there is always someone there to help you."

"ASAP impacted me by giving me an essential support system to continue my studies at Kingsborough. I had never received so much support and beautiful energy from individuals outside of my family who genuinely cared, hoped, and pushed for my continued growth and individual greatness... ASAP changed me as a student by affording me the opportunity to return back to school with support and by pushing me to excel farther than I imagined I could, even throughout all of my life changes."
Michelle Robles, Kingsborough Community College ASAP '11; current student, New York University Silver School of Social Work '13

"When ASAP came into my life, they revived my hopes of going to college and building a career. They allowed me to take a good look at myself, to discover who I am and what I want to be in life. ASAP made me realize that I should make a career of something I love to do. So after I finish school, I plan on becoming an editor. If it wasn’t for ASAP and the people that make it what it is, I wouldn’t have the achievements, experience, and confidence I have right now."

"I think that ASAP impacted my life greatly—and still does. I was able to build lasting relationships, and I’m still in touch with many people from the program: we still talk on the phone, and I just saw an ASAP friend recently. ASAP wasn’t a generic experience; it wasn’t just a program I’d do and that’s it. The friendships and the relationships with the staff really make ASAP memorable. The staff really went above and beyond, well past their job description."
