One of my self-imposed missions is to help others obtain a college education; as result, whenever I discover information that will assist others toward that mission I am happy to share it here on Latina On a Mission.

This is so great. Being a first generation Latina going to college, was a tough one for me. The reason being is that I really did not know where to turn for advice. The only one I could turn to was my high school counselor, and he wasn’t much help.
Patricia Like you, I had no one within my family to turn to for guidance. It made it much more difficult and because of that took me longer thn it should have. Programs like this one help. They break down barriors. They educate. They make it possible to graduate in 4 years, which is atypical within our community now.
