University at Albany, Class of 2020
From BRONX, NY

I'm from the South Bronx and my plan for the next four years is to make a difference in the community by pushing for mentoring programs and education programs to take to Albany High school and increase the graduation rate. I want to create a nonprofit to help make that happen. Article written about me : http://hechingerreport.org/a-mother-and-son-go-from-homeless-to-college/
