Student DREAMers Alliance

Uncategorized
This is a picture of the Student DREAMers Alliance, one of the many programs supported through the Hispanic Alliance of Greenville (SC). This program supports DREAMers from Greenville area high schools in their pursuit of higher education. When I worked in college admissions, this is one of my favorite groups to work with because they are high achieving students who just want a chance at attending college. The biggest challenges are they can’t attend a local college and stay closer to home and/or the financial expense of college is too great. In their program they talk about a variety of topics from college admission, attending college, what to make of the college experience, how to finance college, etc. The challenges these students face are ones that can be alleviated, worked around or through. I’m just really passionate about advocating for the rights of all to access the same resources.

Haitian Immigrants

Although Haiti has had many tragedies and is one of the poorest countries in the western hemisphere, It is has a rich history and the Island full of vivid beauty. I chose this video because fifty percent of my students are from Haiti. In fact, I have one student that just came to the United States about two months ago. Am also intrigued by how they have endured so much, but yet remain strong.
