Its a good feeling and Im really grateful, said Kobe, when reflecting on the opportunity with GO. Ive been able to get a laptop, which meansI can do school work at home andget support from my family if I need it. Ive also been able to go on camps and excursions, like our trip to the snow last year and visits to universities.Spending time at different universities has made the GO experience stand out for Kobe, because hes been able to learn about the different study areas he could pursue once hes finished school and what he needs to do to get there.
