Arani
After exploring her options for an affordable education, Arani made a life-changing decision. She enrolled at Malcolm X College where she soon joined the Surgical Technology program.
Alicia Gregorio grew up in Mexico but has called West Humboldt Park home for many years.
She was thrilled to learn about the free opportunity to enroll in Adult Education courses at Truman College and prepare to earn her high school diploma.
Having achieved that goal, Alicia is now excited to pursue a degree in finance. She hopes to use her education to help her community better understand budgeting and saving for retirement.
