LEAP Academy Class of 2011

My experience at Leap was one to be remembered. I had the best instructors guiding me every step of the way. When I thought about giving up, they pushed me to exceed expectations, I could not ask for a better school. I am now a general contractor, a building engineer, and a small business owner. I own a small business called Joshua’s Home Remodeling; it is a commercial and residential based company. We remodel and make any repair in schools, apartments, homes and more.

I graduated Leap in 2011 with an amazing group of students. My favorite subject at Leap had to be history, just the knowledge I gained from knowing the past still intrigues me. After Leap Academy, I attended multiple schools, internships, and became an apprentice for a union. I worked very long days, and I worked for free in many occasions just to get the knowledge I needed to start my own business. I now have a plethora of certifications, and licenses that help me stand out in front of my competition. Leap Academy provided me with the tools I needed to grow, and helped me realize that I can reach any goal I set for myself.

I will always be a part of Leap Academy, and I extend my gratitude to all the teachers who are committed to what they do. The experience there helped me prepare not only for college, but it helped me plan ahead, and gear towards starting my own business. I cannot thank Leap enough for helping me in the process.
