The support I received has ranged from learning how to design the most effective college application, to maximizing my college education, and even discovering who I am. I use the critical thinking skills I developed with LaunchPad in college, where essays and assignments are much more thought-provoking and demanding. LaunchPad gave me an invaluable boost to my writing skills that made a huge impact on my life.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>LaunchPad furthers the mission of the Foundation in an essential manner, providing educational programming to our diverse community.
