Rising Memorial High School senior Rachael Oreoluwa was able to receive transport from Edgewood ISD police to her summer internship at the Witte Museum.While some students in San Antonio were dropped off at their summer jobs by their parents, the way Rachael Oreoluwa arrived at her internship at the Witte Museum might have turned heads.
“I don’t think I would have been able to have this experience if I didn’t have Communities in Schools or the help from transportation,” said the Memorial High School senior. “But it just gives me a sense of responsibility, and it gave me a step forward into other routes I’d like to take.” “If you build strong critical skills, strong communications, you can transition from one field or industry and to another,” Matta-Barrera said.Oreoluwa, for example, aspires to pursue a degree in psychology after she graduates next year — but she interned in the visitor experience department at the Witte.
Oreoluwa moved to San Antonio from Nigeria on Christmas Day in 2019, shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic shuttered schools and disrupted education.
