My ACAP experience was excellent. It was so wonderful attending intimate classes, meeting interesting people from diverse backgrounds and having the opportunity to communicate my opinions to others and learn from theirs. I made great friends and learned important counselling skills, which have been beneficial in all aspects of my life.
