First Graduate

First Graduate student Ivan Garcia was featured on ScholarMatch.org. Ivan has a goal to raise $5,000 in scholarships for college by May.  You can view his profile at ScholarMatch.org, and help him meet his goal!

After becoming the first in my family to graduate from college last spring, I began diligently pursuing the next step: my career.

And I think that slightly different person is an improvement upon the former Anjie who existed before.
