DONATE TODAY To Reduce Student Debt and Help AVID Grads Realize Their College Dreams!

My college degree represents much more than a personal milestone. It is a testament of resilience, love and hope. It is a commitment to my family that their sacrifices were meaningful and a promise to my community that I will give back. That sense of purpose motivates me every single day.

My parents made the brave decision to immigrate to the United States, seeking a better future for me. Growing up in a low income household and not knowing English, the idea of attending a four-year university felt like an unattainable dream. However, through relentless hard work in school and extracurriculars, I earned admission to a world reknown institution, proving to myself that I can achieve anything I set my mind to.
