Stat: We’ve learned that education can be a
game changer in someone’s life. Unfortunately, in Barrio Logan less than 3% of
residents have a bachelor’s degree or higher.
“My name
is Ariealla. Can you imagine what it
would be like to have your father think that college is only for your
brother? That your “career” is to learn
how to keep house, get married and raise a family? Or that your family doesn’t even want you to
move away from home? With the help of
Barrio Logan College Institute, I was able to get support to discuss the
challenges I’m facing at home. After
years in the program, I’m proud to say that I’m a Gates Millennium Scholar and
I’ll be leaving to attend Franklin and Marshall University in Pennsylvania. Not only getting a bachelors but having
enough financial aid to get a doctorate in the Science, Technology, Engineering
and Math fields.”
