By the third grade, I knew I wanted a 4.0 GPA
“My mother graduated from the 9 Week PIQE Program during my elementary years. With my father working late nights, I joined my mother during the program. By the third grade, I knew what a GPA was, how to calculate it, and most importantly, I wanted mine to be, above a 4.0. With my mother’s guidance throughout my school years, I was empowered to work hard academically because I had already envisioned a goal for myself, attend and graduate from a university with a doctorate, and knew what steps to follow. PIQE equipped my mom and me with the necessary tools required to reach my goal” stated Daisy.
