Abstract | José Trejo describes the ten years he has spent in the state of North Carolina. He came here from Mexico with his family and faced some challenges as he progressed through high school. After graduating from high school, he worked for a time with family members in construction and went back to school to receive his Associate’s Degree in Accounting. He then describes his current work with the Migrant Education Program in Henderson County and with the High School Education Program, a statewide program. José explains his desire to make an impact on many people and he would like to do that by first obtaining a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science and/or some other Law related field before going to Law School. He ultimately wants to be able to provide for his family both here and in Mexico. |
