TRANSFORMATIVE EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
“TEDS has enabled me to become a better leader and the reason I’m involved in TEDS is because I want to help those who aren’t acquainted with the skills that I have. I want them to learn the skills that I have so that they can become a better person. "
"TEDS means to me that I’m glad that they exists because it helps students that need help to transfer to college. From high school to college with educational devices and things like that they need. It’s very helpful for them and I’m glad that they’re able to help students. Um because I didn’t have things like that when I was transitioning and so if I had those things maybe it would have been a little bit easier for me. So, I’m happy that they can help students like me that didn’t have it so now that they have it and can transition easier. "
