“I have grown a lot in my time at Thomas; my communication skills have improved a lot since I was always an introverted person in High School, but Thomas helped me “come out of my shell” and become a more vibrant person. I have also grown more professional from high school to now, working on my professional attire, communications skills, and thought process when it comes to taking in a professional environment.”
