I’m Bryan Raul Garcia, soon to be a senior in high school. I’ve be in a number of programs during my time at Cristo Rey, such as Junior Achievement Business Program (it was short-lived), Prepare 2Nspire (a math ACT program), and Kairos Retreat Leaders. When I heard that this program was starting soon, I knew that I wanted to be in it. I wanted to know what was really needed to not only get to college but graduate as well. I want to be a film director/screenwriter; I love creating weird, complex, captivating epics. I really enjoyed being part of this program. I learned so much. I hope my contributing to the program helps my fellow first-generation students’ success in college.
