“With NYSIP I spent time reflecting on my Armenian spirit, experimenting with different career paths, exploring an exciting city, and making some lifelong friends.”
"Compassion, empathy, patience, bonding, compromise, problem solving, facing challenges, fighting through struggles –these are all skills that I learned at MDS."
"This was my first 21k race and it was a big challenge for me, but all I hoped was to raise enough to make a difference and support AGBU and its fundraising efforts as much as possible."
"If I hadn’t gone to the Alex and Marie Manoogian School and had not been immersed in the culture, I’m sure I wouldn’t be as involved in Armenian life as I am now."
“I believe AGBU gave us the opportunity to come together, empower each other to endure and continue our struggle to achieve our individual goals as well as be the bearers of our national identity.”
