On Sunday, an event was held at Seaworld to celebrate the achievements of 175 San Diego high school graduates who have worked closely with the non-profit Reality Changers.
SAN DIEGO, Calif. — Most of the students in attendance will be the first in their family to attend college.
“For me it’s genuinely been one of the most guiding sources in my life,” said Jabze Solomon, a local high school student who spoke at Sunday’s Reality Changers event. “I’m going to George Washington for political science and I’m hoping to minor in sociology and English and writing. After that I want to go to law school and hopefully become a public defender.”
“It’s impacted me because as a first generation student, I don’t have a family that’s very knowledgeable about the college application process and just how to take advantage of resources that are out there,” said Haset Moloro. “I’m hoping to major in molecular and cell biology and then hopefully minor in global health because my family came from Ethiopia and I want to work on bettering global health.
