Chicago Academy High School graduate Adrienne Toney is attending Olivet Nazarene University, where she will be able to integrate her faith with her collegiate studies. 

Adrienne described how one of her classes in high school, although difficult, also motivated her to continue moving forward towards college. The dual-credit Biology class helped Adrienne learn how to begin tackling problems the way a college student would.
