You belong in college. You deserve access to an education.
As a professional college access advocate, I am constantly inspired by young people who insist on pursuing their educational goals despite all that might be against them. Research after research shows that in a complicated way, institutions of higher education are not built for the thriving of first-generation students, students of color, and nontraditional students in general. I know I can’t solve this on my own, but I am dedicated to helping students turn frustration into empowerment through college counseling. I am happy for you to join this community of mutual empowerment. ¡Viva la educación!
