Gompers Prep Student Dreams Big!

My name is Emely, and I come from a low-income family. I live in a small, and humble home with my mother and father. My father works in a painting company, and is thankfully, still employed.

She cleans the house, makes sure we are well fed everyday, and looks out for us. I think that is the greatest work of all, and I’m thankful for having her look after me. She is my teacher and inspiration. Growing up as an only … [Read more...]
