Is education the ticket to prosperity?

Absolutely. There is no doubt about that. Some of us may drop out for a year or two. I am also a GED student but was able to find that mentor, Lemar Elizondo, he is clearly in my mind and he was one that was a huge advocate that was able to take me by the hand and show me. Benny Muņoz who works for the Migrant Council now, taught me math when I was getting my GED, so all these people are still around us but they played a big role in helping me get where I am now. I can proudly say that I have gotten a teaching degree now and am coming back and helping as many as I can.
