profile was very tough as far as self confidence goes and we knew that there was a better alternative. and mollie knew it too. because if you wanna go to a good college, you have to go to a good school. so the couple decided theyd build their own school, for mollie and others like her. it very quickly became more than about mollie, it became about everybody wh0 was struggling. it took 3 ½
