“Throughout SIP I and II, I have been prepared for independent<br />
school life, but have also formed relationships that will last<br />
a lifetime. I know that I can always count on my <strong>Oliver</strong> family,<br />
they will always be there by my side to support me. <strong>Oliver</strong><br />
has helped me reach my dreams. They have taught us the<br />
art of time management and that not only is a good student<br />
someone with high grades, but also someone who is determined,<br />
compassionate, and hardworking. I am so grateful<br />
to <strong>Oliver</strong> for the help they have given me.”<br />
