Broaddus ISD Student

Headed to SFA! by Tara Evers, Region 7 ESC Migrant Specialist Broaddus ISD student Carlos Camacho, is the first one of his agricultural working family to graduate from high school and apply to college. Despite spending months in the hospital with COVID 19, he completed the requirements for graduation and was able to walk in the graduation ceremony with his high school class. The Region 7 MEP team, Tara Evers and Marisol Mancha, assisted Carlos in completing the FAFSA and college application. It was a whole family affair! While completing the college admissions work, his uncle, aunt, and cousins joined his mom and dad at the kitchen table to offer their support and encouragement as he completed them. His siblings and cousins sat watching and learning, realizing that they too could aspire to graduate f rom high school and attend college just like Carlos! ■ 20
