College Dean: Don’t Let Barriers Stop You
Cisco Ortiz went to the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado intending to become a pilot and a college football player.
But two and a half years later, he learned his difficulty distinguishing between greens and reds would disqualify him as a pilot. A shoulder injury ended his football journey.
She Found Success on the Education Pathway
Isabel Nuñez traveled the world, advancing her education and applying her knowledge to professional pursuits.
She tells her story to young people affiliated with Latinos Count at Positive Pathways events and encourages students to consider learning beyond high school as one route to a good life.
Lessons in Perseverance, Choices and Connections
In 2016, Sofia Rosales-Scatena was nearly killed when her squad car was hit by another vehicle. In 2017, after a nearly year-long recovery, she and her husband were in the final stages of adopting two children when her husband died of a heart attack.
Investing in our students
BENEFITS EVERYONE
“Latinos Count is my passion. For me, it is a labor of love. I don’t think there’s an organization in our market that is solely focused on Latino youth, one that prepares them for life after high school.
This is important because often times language becomes a barrier in Latino families living in the U.S. Latinos Count helps bridge the gap between the language barrier and complex information about higher education that is not always easily understood by first generation Latino parents due to the language challenges, and for young adults because it is confusing.”
