Hey! I'm Tange and I'm 18 years old. I’ve been in the Judge Alice Lytle Academy of Dreams Program for over 4 years. And with the support and nourishment I received from the program, I have accomplished a lot.
I’ve graduated high school in June 2004. I now working as a part time medical assistant and attending Sacramento City College part time. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to take a trip to Texas last summer with some of my fellow Academy Of Dreamers. The reason I wanted to go was to be apart of the experience of the caravan and next year I want to go all the way to Cuba and see what the medical school is like there. My plans for the future are to become a midwife or a Registered Nurse. I believe in myself. I feel I can do anything. |
