My name is Manuel Banuelos, I was placed in the program last year as a mentee. Mr. Medina caught me skipping classes, and I also had bad grades. As soon as I joined YESS my grades went up. The program helped me improve in school and I now am taking courses in CEC early college. I have been looked at by 3 colleges so far. I see how this  program helps plenty other Lincoln students to be successful in school. I am now a mentor for the program and have helped plenty of kids that use to be like me. One of my mentees is Luis I am glad I was able to have him go from failing grades to passing grades. He is now a player for the ALHS basketball team. GOOD JOB LUIS!
