ANDY CANALES
While both my parents, immigrants from El Salvador, provided me with the best they could, opportunities in the inner-city were limited. Fortunately, with the help of my parents, teachers, hard work, and some luck along the way, I was able to become the first one in my family to graduate from college. Education changed my life, and I want other children growing up in the same shoes I was once in to access this life-changing opportunity as well.
