I joined Esperanza Juvenil in 2016 during elementary school and currently, I’m in my last year of high school.  I thoroughly enjoy being in school because it exposes me to diverse perspectives and allows me to learn from both my teachers and classmates. My short-term goal for this year is to graduate from high school, while my long-term aspiration is to complete college and support my family. For me, Esperanza Juvenil means family, where I can always find support and love.
