My Students

It takes a village to polish a gem--please help these aspiring scholars. My students will be first generation college students--the first in their families to go to college. Many of them of come from underrepresented demographic groups, low income families, and some are immigrants.

My students are juniors in the Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) program.

Through this program we identify promising youngsters who are first-generation college students, low income, from under-represented demographic groups or immigrants. Most of them have been in the program since 9th grade at our urban high school. As juniors, they are now required to be in advanced courses through our school's Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate programs. This is a great group of young scholars and I have had the pleasure of being their AVID teacher since ninth grade.

My Project

I am asking for help to assist these students prepare for their ACT exams. I am requesting an ACT prep book for each student so all of them, even the ones without home access to the Internet, can effectively study and prepare for the ACT. Thank you for considering this important work. Your support can truly make a difference in the life of a young scholar. Your support of this project is a concrete way for you to make that difference. These students are truly diamonds in the rough, and with your support they can continue to overcome their personal obstacles and succeed to become the leaders of the future.

Consider you making a difference.

These young people are transforming our school, and I fully expect them to transform our world. They are special, and with your support, they can prepare well for the ACT and score well--earning spots at competitive schools and financial aid awards.
