It is said that Hispanics will be the largest minority group
by the year 2004, including purchasing power of $4 billion dollars. Very few Latinos
have the opportunity to attend college because of financial support, high school dropout
rate, and people hanging out on the wrong side of the track. As a first generation
high school graduate from La Salle Academy, and first generation college student, I feel
honored that my brother and my cousins look up to me and realize that I made it to college
and inspire themselves to do the same. The new millenium should bring new hope for
Latinos to rise to the occassion and represent. |
