A new beginning
I came to Texas ChalleNGe Academy for a second chance at life. After making some bad decisions in my life, I realized that if I wanted to be a successful adult, I would need to make some changes in my life as a teen. Somehow God led my mother to learn about TCA, and I applied and was thankfully accepted. 03/15/2023 12:00 AM

My aunt told my parents about Texas ChalleNGe Academy because of the bad choices that I was making in my life. Prior to coming to TCA, I was skipping class, hanging with the wrong crowds, and disrespecting my parents. I didn’t like seeing my parents cry, but at the time, I was only thinking about myself. 03/08/2023 12:00 AM
