2 Students were surveyed upon completion of PACA.
PACA is the most surprising and the most useful class out of all the classes that I’m probably going to take. It really kick-starts you into getting into the right mindset, how to manage your emotions, and your time and your stress.
I was surprised how much community was built through the Academy. The coaching is above and beyond. I feel like it was crazy how much I felt like I learned about myself during that period of time, too.
