“I suffer from insomnia and ADHD which both made a typical school schedule immensely challenging. My difficulty sleeping made succeeding in my morning classes, particular my 7:25 AM class, impossible… Attending Tecca, I am largely able to control my schedule and now only have class beginning at 11:00 AM. This has dramatically improved the quality of my education and my ability to learn. I am now receiving mainly A’s in my classes, a far cry from my experience at Haverhill.” — Jyn
