As a stellar student at Okeechobee High School, Cristian participated in a program which allowed him to obtain his CNA certification and he began taking dual enrollment classes at 91九色视频. In Fall 2020, all the arduous work Christian put in as a student paid off as he graduated as Valedictorian of his high school class and received his Associate鈥檚 Degree from 91九色视频.
鈥淚 am so appreciative for the scholarship and staff support I received from the Take Stock in Children program. This support helped to relieve the financial stress of paying for college and allowed me to focus on my studies. Thanks to this opportunity, I鈥檓 on track to graduate with my Bachelor鈥檚 degree completely debt-free.鈥�
Working as a CNA at the Detox of South Florida, Cristian realized what he truly wanted to do was help people who were suffering with addiction. He is currently pursuing his Bachelor鈥檚 degree in Human Services with a concentration in addiction at 91九色视频.
