Shriya
Age 17
"I've always had a bit of a hard time fitting in. The Edge helped me understand why I feel the way I feel and what are some ways I can trick my mind into going out of my comfort zone."
Will
Age 16
"After completing the entrepreneurship track, I started my own venture called Operation Drip. I don't know if I would've done it otherwise."
Thalia
Age 16
"The Edge has honestly changed the way I look at life. I honestly didn't think skills were learnable in the beginning. But I started trying out a couple of things I learned in the gameplans and I noticed a shift. A shift in how I felt and how my friends responded. I'm excited to try more skills."
Stefania
Age 14
"I loved the study techniques module. I used to keep rereading thinking it helped, but turns out it wasn't very helpful. Now I use blurting and spaced repetition. Let's go!!"
