“The work is hard and it’s rigorous, but we have a lot of support here,” said Trinity Adams, a student at St. Philip’s College Early College High School. Adams recently finished her associate degree and next month she will be graduating from St. Philip’s College Early College High School.Adams said her educational experience, volunteer work, and essay helped her get into the university.
“My essay was about the struggles that I went through growing up, basically through elementary school. My family had a really rough patch during that time, and it was really about how using that, I realized that when I go to school, nobody really knows what’s going on when I’m not there. So I linked that in to not judging people by what they look like, because you never know what’s really going on in their lives,” Adams said.“This program literally changes the trajectory of students’ lives.
“I think what’s really kept me going is my mother. She’s always been there to support me. My whole family, even. But I have a lot of support coming from all around me,” Adam said.Sal Salazar is a photojournalist at KSAT 12. Before coming to KSAT in 1998, he worked at the Fox affiliate in San Antonio.
