Notas del editor
- My journey began in the Compton public school system at a time when gangs were rampant, classes were overcrowded, and it was common to have a substitute teacher more than your actual teacher. Additionally, academic enrichment programs were only available to a select group of students—and those students were subjectively chosen by teachers.
- Fortunately for me, my pipeline journey consisted of several components that made it successful. First, …
- Next, being selected for the GATE program
- I established several relationships with Mentors that I met through GATE programming. These relationships exposed me to different communities and social/cultural activities. I also found out about college preparatory and other “Pipeline” programs through my mentors and they assisted me with the application processes, fees, and by writing recommendations.
- I found out about the CA Academy of Math and Science from one of my GATE mentors—an administrator at the Middle School I attended. My middle school, at the behest of my mentor, provided the materials I needed to apply for CAMS (admission required a science project and in-person presentation/explanation). My mentor personally paid for the materials my school could not provide. I was admitted to CAMS based on this assistance and my scholastic record. At CAMS, I learned about college admission requirements and the application process. I also learned about scholarships, grants, and other forms of financial aid to attend college for the first time.
- Throughout my academic career, I was only exposed to Pipeline programs for Math and Sciences, including MESA, Medical School programs—Charles Drew, etc. I did not come in contact with a Law School Pipeline program until I attended UCLA. Until this point, I did not have a personal relationship with anyone in the legal profession. Law Fellows exposed me to the various aspects of the legal profession and provided a scholarship to take a Law School Admissions Test preparatory course. The program also provided legal mentors and fostered relationship development of mentors/mentees
- It was through the various “Pipeline” programs, and the relationships I formed as a result of my participation in them, that I had a competitive application package (the right LSAT, GPA, recommendations, and personal statement).
- Add specific notes from Cathy’s last report and from the Irvine report. Increase in credits, increase in GPA those who participated, increase in CAHSEE pass, increase attendance, increase college, etc.
- A celebration for mentees, law student mentors, and their families to commemorate the year’s accomplishments
