Orlando Bermúdez — I have already been accepted at the Puerto Rico Polytechnic University and I will obtain a civil engineering degree.

My name is Hazel A. González. My plans for the future are to study nursing and obtain my Bachelors degree at the Interamerica University in Arecibo where I have been accepted.

Kenny Rivera Monnet — I have been accepted, thanks to God, at the University of Puerto Rico Extension in Humacao where I will get my degree in graphic arts.

Hello, my name is Ana M. Monell. I am a senior and when I finish school, I want to study graduate nursing and I have faith and hope that I will achieve this goal.
