Graduating Seniors Need Technological Support to Succeed in College!

Funded Jun 23, 2017

I wish I was able to showcase in this paragraph the impact these chrome books have had on my students. These are students who were not able to have access to this technology at hand, to do homework, to do their research papers, to be able to work in their study areas with access to a computer whenever they need them! My students have been able to use these computers, not only in the classrooms, or their study halls or the library whenever they go to study, but these computers serve them as a communication tool as well. They have facilitated the opportunity to have on going communication with their professors or counselors when they feel they need them. Today, everything is done online or via a computer.

My students are not only excited about all the work they have been able to accomplished thanks to having these computers, but also they share this excitement with their parents. These are parent that I, was able to meet and witness their concern about not being able to provide for their children, including providing them with the technology. Seeing the parents relief as they see the progress their children have made it's an amazing experience.

These students were more than ready to start working with their new chrome books. Just to remember when they came to see me to ask me about when will they have access to these computers because they had so much work and they needed these technologies bring tears to my eyes. They have shown how much they deserve to be working with this technology, how much effort they put in all the work they do and they prove that with getting good grades and accomplishing goals they set for themselves which they will reach with the help of having access to a computer.”

With gratitude,
