Meet some of the students who embody everything SEEDS stands for.
“Without SEEDS I wouldn’t be where I am today: a Harvard graduate and future physician. SEEDS not only changed my life, but also changed the life of my family. I have carried the lessons that SEEDS has taught me in every sphere. In the future, I want to inspire other young kids from underrepresented backgrounds to pursue their dreams and carve their own paths.”
MISHA NAIR
“SEEDS has given me the community and resources to apply to college, which I would not have had otherwise, given the community I come from. Creating pathways for kids like me is one of the invaluable services that SEEDS provides and will hopefully continue to provide for many years to come.”
LUIS GUAMAN
“Through SEEDS, I built an incredible network of friends and gained the knowledge and confidence that helped me get to my dream college. Most importantly, I now carry lessons about college and life that I can sharewith my siblings, younger peers, and others in my community, all thanks to my time at SEEDS.”
ANIYA GIDDINGS
“I often refer to SEEDS as the catalyst for my life. It was the organization that spurred me toward a life I had only dreamed about. Getting the chance to serve as Head Prefect at a private boarding school, getting into the #1 university in the U.S., serving scholars, interning at a premier global financial data company, and becoming the CCO of a company – I couldn’t have imagined any of this was possible. Without SEEDS, I would not be where I am today.”
LAURA KAHU
“I’ve seen many doors open for me because of my connection with SEEDS. From academic preparation to career development opportunities, SEEDS has consistently invested in my growth and helped me gain access to spaces I may not have reached without them.”
LAUREN GUIONS
“SEEDS has shown me that anything is possible. As a kid from Newark, I grew up without a sense of what I wanted to be, what I wanted to do, or where I wanted to go. SEEDS helped me break barriers and exponentially enhance my potential.”
TAAHIR JONES
“Looking back, the SEEDS journey encouraged me to always advocate for myself, and it instilled the importance of staying in touch with my community.”
ALEENA KIBRIA
“I look back over the memories I made at SEEDS fondly. I have kept in touch with SEEDS counselors for years after graduating and have built and inextricable bond with my Delbarton brothers who were also a part of SEEDS. The knowledge that SEEDS has imparted on me has been immensely helpful in everything from school to everyday life.”
