Julian Rivera
High School Diploma Graduate
​F
resno Adult School
Fighting has been part of Julian Rivera's life since childhood, growing up without parents and living with his grandmother in a poor family in El Salvador. He excelled in mathematics, academics, and sports from a young age. His love for learning and curiosity about how things worked drove him to overcome his challenges, graduating high school and attending university.

Julian became a Civil Engineer, married, and started a family. After 5 years in his profession, violence in his country forced his family to move to the United States, where he worked in the fields. He enrolled in Fresno Adult School to break the language barrier, meeting inspiring teachers and supportive people. He then earned the HiSET diploma and had the honor of giving delivered the graduation speech in English.

With guidance from Transition Specialist Oscar Hinojosa, Julian enrolled in college full-time and aims to take classes related to what he dreams of becoming while improving his English.

Maria Sanchez

High School Diploma Graduate
Clovis Adult School
Maria Sanchez, 34, is a mother of three with another child on the way, whose journey reflects resilience and transformation. After battling addiction for 12 years, she lost custody of her son along with her family’s trust, home, and job, eventually ending up on the streets.

Determined to change, she entered inpatient rehab, overcame withdrawal and depression, and achieved sobriety with the support of  therapists and counselors. She moved to Fresno to rebuild her life, and realizing the importance of education, she enrolled at Clovis Adult School, earning her diploma in just nine months with the help of dedicated teachers and counselors.

​Recognized for her hard work through scholarships, she decided to pursue a college degree in business and accounting, aiming to become her own boss and create a better future for her family. Now, Maria hopes to inspire others by encouraging them to seek help and reminding them that with determination and support, transformation is possible.
