I’ve lived in Escondido for my entire life, with the exception of some surrounding cities and staying in Jordan for a few months.

Sponsor Needed! Camila “Rose” Betancourt A Gifted Writer and only in 8th Grade.
When I was six, I wanted to be an astronaut, and when I was 7, I wanted to be a singer. By the time I was 11, I had thought becoming a judge or a lawyer would be my future, but that might have just been because of Legally Blonde. I am sure that it is something that every kid goes through. Profit usually comes to mind before the passion for when someone asks you what you want to be when you grow up. We all had our reasons, and mine was to be making enough profit to support my family. My name is rose, and I am 13 years old. I am now coming to … [Read more...]

The Gift of Giving – Ananely Alonso and her Mother’s Story of Hope and Support
"I wanted the sponsorship. I needed the sponsorship. During November of 2019, my brain came to the realization that I needed to pay off 4 AP exams ($63 each). I did not know how I was going to do it. My school set a deadline for students to decide whether they would take the exams or not. I knew I wanted to take my exams, but the problem was paying for them. I come from a low-income family who lives paycheck to paycheck. Everything counts. I went to my counselor and asked if my school offered some type of scholarship and she said no, but that … [Read more...]
