Hi, my name is Alejandra Rivera and I am a senior. The reason why I joined YESS is because I'm a softball player, anybody who plays a sport knows how difficult it can be to maintain school work when you have practice and games that run kind of late. I had so much work that I needed help on, Coach Medina pushed me to join YESS because he knew I could get the help I was seeking for. Now, I transitioned from a young mentee to a mentor Leader, and I couldn't be more grateful! You get to make friends you never expected to make. these friendships really hit home because they're kids with the same backgrounds as me. Its so gratifying being able to help them set an example!
