Shannon, a parent at Fort Worth ISD
Cara has been a wonderful blessing to our family and to Anna. She and Anna connect well and she has done a wonderful job of meeting Anna where she is and focusing on Anna’s needs and what she sees as important, while also being a respectful guide. Anna has made tremendous progress this semester and has learned to improve time management and prioritization of tasks. Cara has been a huge help in the college application and decision process and has established a relationship with Anna based upon mutual respect and trust. Anna completed all of her college applications and scholarship submission requirements before the required deadlines and has been accepted into every college to which she applied. Cara has also helped Anna explore various majors, going out of her way to connect her with people who majored in areas in which she is interested. She not only does her job well, but truly cares about our daughter and her success.
