I
remember in High school I was thought less of our doubted
because I was a Latino determined to go to a University. I
clearly remember my counselor stating. "Are you sure you
want to go to a University? I think you will do better in a
Junior College". In fact my counselor didn’t even talk
to me about what I needed to do in order to get accepted
into College. I had a 3.6 grade point average and not once
did he discuss the SAT test or classes I should be taking. I
was stuck in wood shop instead of A.P. classes. And it's
ironic because most of the people in this class with me were
also Latino males.
