“Throughout my 4 years, I've met many diverse people with various different aspirations and I've met many wonderful teachers with great passion. Not only have I been able to find my own voice and confidence, but I've learned to appreciate and love what I do. Throughout all these experiences, Cherokee has helped me find something so valuable - my passion. No matter where I go, or what I end up doing, I know that this passion will help me find success and joy in my future.”
