"The most beneficial part of this program is that it has helped me to realize my strengths and weaknesses, and taught me how to speak and act more articulately. I loved the 'Job Interview' and 'Leadership' sessions because of the confidence they instilled in me. I feel that I am better prepared in how to dress, keep calm, and conduct myself for a job interview. I feel more comfortable being around and interacting with others. I now also recognize that I’m not the only one that has problems in these areas. I never felt adequate before, but I’ve met new people and learned more about the things I have struggled with. I love everything about the program – all the lessons, the people I've met, everything! My only regret is having missed any of the lessons at all! I recommend ALMS because it prepares you for life in so many different ways."

"I liked learning about realistic scenarios in life and how to handle them. My favorite session was one in which one of my peers taught the class; I was inspired - I want to learn how to teach a class too! I really enjoyed learning how to present myself, and to be enthusiastic and positive in the things I do. I feel more content in myself, and see other people in a more positive way as well! We are all so different, and yet everyone goes through struggles in life. Session 9 was my other favorite session; I had a blast learning more about public speaking, leadership qualities, etc. And, the ALMS staff couldn't be more supportive, always answering questions and encouraging a positive outlook on life. I recommend ALMS because it reassures you in approaching life with confidence."

"ALMS taught me how to perform in a professional setting. The program was essential in preparing for life in the workforce, and how to handle situations at work and with coworkers. My favorite overall was the 'Perceptions' session, specifically how it teaches that our perceptions show out in and effect our behavior. Though, regarding job skills, I would really like to repeat the 'Job Interview' session. I feel the skills I learned from it have made me more mature and focused. The ALMS staff are incredible because they made me feel welcomed, safe, and heard - there wasn't a question I felt I couldn't ask. They made all their participants feel more confident, and better prepared us all to consider and discuss our futures. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be in ALMS and to get to know the wonderful people I can count on!"

"My favorite session was 'Dress for Success'. Through the session, I was able to both learn more about myself, as well as how to get through a job interview. I am particularly grateful for the job interview training because it helped me land a promotion at work! It also helped me with my job before the promotion, teaching me how to properly dress and converse with coworkers and supervisors professionally. The program has taught me how to stay collected mentally, and reminds me that nothing is more important when it comes down to my future. I love working with ALMS because they were there when I needed them most, guiding me through the interview at each step. I would recommend ALMS to everyone because I believe it really is an eye-opening experience."
