Textbooks for Orlando who is entering his third year as an English major

Posted Jul 12, 2018
Orlando has overcome a lot and continues to succeed in college. After he completes his college studies he would like to teach English. He would love to continue to succeed in college and is requesting assistance with his books so he can continue doing so.

Orlando is 26 years old and lives in CA

Orlando is a second year university student. It is too early to say what he wants to do after graduation, but with a brother attending UCLA he and his siblings have already overcome a tremendous amount of challenges to be where they are now. While its too early to tell what he wants to do after graduation, he is really studious and dedicated to his academics. He is a bit shy, but when you get to know him, he really opens up. Orlando does not benefit from the other state aid other foster youth are privy to, he works and puts himself through college.
