“Uncommon Good has done so much for me and my family. I see the staff of Uncommon Good as an extension of my family. I’ve known them since I was 8and I am 18 now. As I grew, I also have seen the program grow and become this amazing place that does so much for the community. They opened my eyes to the reality of the world and what I need to do become a successful woman in a STEMfield. I recently looked at an essay I wrote in the 4th grade for Uncommon Good in which I said I was going to grow up and go to UCLA. I had put that down not because I knew anything about UCLA but because it was the only college I’d ever heard of. Guess what? I’ll be attending UCLA in the fall as a STEM major.
Thank you, Uncommon Good, for helping me on this amazing journey.”
-Yajaira, Class of 2018
A big thank you to the Uncommon Good staff. I cannot emphasize how you all have shaped my life and guided me every step of the way. Thank you all for your help because without you, going to Tulane would not have been possible. I love y’all.
