Morgan Ray Student
Before ExQ, Morgan Ray struggled with planning, organization, and knowing how to take the next step toward his goals.

ExQ helped him recognize both strengths and weaknesses, pushing him to work on lessening procrastination and become more self-aware. He’s learned to approach situations with empathy rather than ego and to apply strategic thinking beyond academics; even in basketball, where slowing down helps him see the game more clearly. Morgan Ray describes ExQ as “very helpful,” especially the coaching, which provided direct feedback and strategies for improvement.

pushing through challenges.
