Andre Maitre |
|
In the fall semester of
2010, Andre Maitre will
begin his first semester at
New York City College of
Technology as a Graphic
Art's Management major. "If
you would have told me a
year ago that I would have
been going to college this
year, I wouldn't believe
you," Maitre said.
In
December 2009, the
26-year-old Bronx native
received his GED from Highbridge Community Life
Center. With the help of
Highbridge counselors, he
was admitted into the CUNY
fall class in April 2010.
"Before, the more I sought
options the more doors
closed," Maitre continued.
"At Highbridge, the more I
tried, the more I was
rewarded."
