“I am so forever thankful in being selected as a Rockford Promise recipient. Coming from a Hispanic family, I have seen my parents fight for a better life, making me thankful over all the sacrifices they made for me. Receiving this opportunity has helped my educational goals become a reality. Knowing that because of this chance I will one day be able to retire, and help my parents. That is the biggest dream, and all I could ever ask for. So to all the donors that have made this possible, I have no words to say how grateful I feel at this moment. Thank you for giving this giving me the blessing of going to college to be the mechanical engineer I dream to be!”
