Corliss have me plenty of opportunities. I was a youth advocate for urban league, i fed the homeless and needy in culinary, i even went on trips to march. Corliss overall has shown me so many things i'm so grateful for the experience and people at Corliss they care about your future more than you do and i feel like every school should do the same .

I was there for a couple of months but the experience is real. The teachers don't force you to do anything, the push you and encourage you to do your best. It's follow yourself and do good no matter what else happens or fail doing nothing at all.
