Isabella R. takes her education seriously. She’s driven to excel and wants to move at an accelerated pace to earn her high school diploma, attend college and focus on a career in medicine.

“I found Learn4Life through close family friends and was excited about the dual enrollment program they offer,” said Isabella. “I had set a goal to advance in my college pathway at a young age, and this school showed me the light at the end of the tunnel of accomplishing my goals.”

She began taking dual enrollment classes at nearby community colleges as a freshman and has already completed a year’s worth of college credits. Because Isabella is so driven, she doesn’t always give herself credit for her accomplishments and often feels stressed.

“Learn4Life works one-on-one with me to make sure I can balance my academic life and my personal life, so I don’t feel overwhelmed,” she explained. “I’ve reduced my stress and completed much more than I would have in a traditional school.”

Thanks to a flexible schedule, Isabella had time to start her journey into a healthcare career by volunteering in the Antelope Valley Medical Center Women and Infants Pavilion.

“This has given me an opportunity to see what my future will look like,” she said. “And it’s great that I don’t have to get to school early in the morning, so I’m not drained by all the other activities I do. I can get so much more done with the flexibility.”

Isabella wants to fulfill her long-term goal of being a nurse for infants.

“I want to finish school at a young age and to be in all aspects of life the best version of myself I can grow to be not just academically but spiritually, physically and mentally.”
