High School Diploma Graduate
Yosemite Adult School
I am María Cachu. I was born and raised in Mexico until I turned 17. Then, my sisters and I moved to the USA to join our dad, who had been here for 30 years. I enrolled at Fresno High but had to leave school when my father had an accident that prevented him from working. As the head of the household, this situation forced me to start working to support the family.
Years later, I married and had four children aged 8 to 16. We are very involved in their activities and stay busy year-round.
As time passed, I wanted to achieve more for myself. My first goal was to become a U.S. citizen after years as a legal resident, and I also worked on improving my English. When our youngest started kindergarten, I decided to return to school while managing home duties, the language barrier, kids' activities, and a job.
My journey required significant effort, time, and dedication. I couldn’t have succeeded without my family’s support and the help of the staff at Yosemite Adult School. Mrs. Kathy went above and beyond, working around my schedule to help me with lessons and check on my progress. Mr. Tony was a great motivator and problem-solver. Mrs. Karina guided me on what to do after earning my high school diploma and provided valuable information, from cosmetology schooling to DMV details. I also took a DMV online class she set up for me.
It took a lot of effort on my part, and I couldn’t have reached my goals without the dedication of Mrs. Kathy, Mrs. Karina, Mr. Tony, and Yosemite Adult School. For anyone looking to earn their high school diploma, this is the place and the team you want on your side.
