Student Stories: Katelynn Lopez | Per Aspera Ad Astra (Hardship to The Stars)
Katelynn's story is one of remarkable resilience and transformation. Before enrolling at L.A. Technology Center (LATC), her life was marked by significant challenges. Growing up in an abusive and neglectful environment, Katelynn was often told she would never achieve anything noteworthy. However, her life took a positive turn when she moved in with her father at 17. Recognizing the need for a change, her father enrolled her in LATC, marking the beginning of Katelynn's new chapter.
Student Stories: Libia Alfaro
I am from Peru. I am the oldest of five siblings. My mother, Ana Maria, and my grandfather Mariano raised us since my parents separated when I was 11. My grandfather instilled in me the value of education.
I came to the U.S. in 1995 to complete my dreams. These were bad times in Peru, with terrorism and a terrible economy. This trip was planned for my brother Mariano, but he didn’t want to do it. I decided to take his place. I was always like this, taking advantage of opportunities. So I came to this country illegally, but full of hopes and dreams.
