Silvana Vasquez, a former AVID student from San Gorgonio High School, shared her journey from San Bernardino to Harvard University. She joined AVID in her freshman year, and benefitted from the time management, organizational skills, and WICOR strategies that she learned in her AVID classes. Silvana's dream of attending Harvard began in fifth grade and was fueled by her AVID teachers' support. She faced challenges, including a rigorous application process with personal essays and maintaining a 4.0 GPA. Silvana's acceptance to Harvard was a significant achievement, especially as the first member of her family to attend college. She plans to study Government and Pre-Law, aiming to become a politician and potentially the first female Hispanic president of the United States.
