Slide Maria left high school during her sophomore year with no inspiration to finish school. Then, she found Health Leadership’s Reengagement Evening School Program. HLHS allowed her to work during the day and finish school at night – all with a supportive faculty of staff and teachers rooting for her success. Maria's
Story
Slide I want to be either a nurse, a cook, a firefighter, or a coroner. For the nursing, I got inspired because my mom works at the hospital. I just like helping out people. When I was little I always saw my grandma in the hospital a lot. So I saw someone help her out, I want to do the same. I’m always helping out people, no matter what.. Angel
Marquez
Slide I want to be a family doctor. And if I’m not that, I want to be a lawyer or a cop. I feel like I want to be involved. Maybe in government.

We did everything together as a group. I was kind of working on everything. I like to be a leader, I work better when I’m guiding people to do things themselves.
