Most Memorable TAP Moment:

“The memory that keeps replaying in my head goes back to the last day of class with our students. As we said our good byes one young girl ran up to me and gave me a hug. Throughout the program she was very shy and did not say much to anyone. It touched my heart to know that the little things we did together gave her the courage to say goodbye with a hug."
