Albizu Campos Alum Receives Academic Award in College !!
Working hard in her Northeastern coursework, Jessie Fuentes has been recognized for her academic excellence. Ms. Fuentes, like many Albizu Campos graduates, have had to deal with many social hurdles on her journey of success. She continues to balance her school life with the many obstacles and continues to do so in stellar form. Her motivation? She sees her family going through difficult times, she sees her friends’ families going through difficult times and she feels that it is “not right”, and that something “needs to change”. She believes that her hard work in school will give her the tools she will need to make that change in her community. Her determination at school has also been matched with her commitment to ongoing community building. Ms. Fuentes is leader and member of the collective of the Batey Urbano, a writer for the longest run student publication in Northeastern Que Ondee Sola, and an active leader in the Student Organization Union for Puerto Rican Students.
Dr. Pedro Albizu Campos Puerto Rican High School would like to congratulate Jessie Fuentes in all of her efforts! Stay strong! Keep up the hard work!
