"I chose Keystone because in 7th grade, I had to have emergency brain surgery. This surgery led me to skip my whole 7th grade year. I really needed a school that could fit with my therapy and doctor’s appointments, and Keystone was able to help me with that. To me it means a lot. I’m not sure if I would be able to get where I am today if we didn’t have school choice."
