“MILA has greatly influenced my ability to learn. It has taught
me the difference between right and wrong. During my time at
MILA, I gained a deeper understanding of both myself and others.
The impact of MILA on my life is immeasurable. It has not only
improved my learning skills and homework abilities but also helped
me deepen my reasoning and thinking. I am very thankful for what
MILA has done for me. I appreciate and love everyone involved."
- ZAHIR PIERRE PAUL (7th Grade Scholar)

“MILA has pushed me to become a better person by encouraging
me to explore my community and beyond. It has helped me make
new friendships and keep old ones. I work hard to do better in
school and at home because I want to make myself and those
around me proud. MILA has helped me become a better person.
I thank Mr. Miller, Mr. Bradley, and everyone who supports us."

“I am incredibly thankful for MILA. I've witnessed many changes
in my son in just a short time. Hernando always talks about his
experiences from the exposure trips and what he's learned or
discovered. I'm also extremely grateful for the after-school program
and its tutoring services. The entire MILA staff is exceptional, and
I know this program is something my son will never forget! Thank
you, MILA, from the bottom of my heart."
- EBONY WHITE (7th Grade Scholar's Parent)

“I have changed so much over the years because of Mirror Image
Leadership Academy. Before MILA going to the NBA, was my only
dream. Being in MILA, my possibilities opened. Since joining the
program, I've visited many places and have an interest in exploring
various career paths. Mirror Image has taken me to places I
would never have seen otherwise. I can’t picture life without the
connections I made at MILA. I thank Mirror Image Leadership
Academy for everything that they gave to me and look forward to
the future of new scholars."
