Rosemary's Story
At 17, Rosemary, who emigrated from Niger, was shocked to find that she was classified as a 10th grader. This didn’t seem right. She came to Texans Can to recover her credits.
That was just the beginning. Rosemary was at the right place: she received etiquette lessons from a volunteer; she was encouraged to take a college-level course and excelled; she received a scholarship to continue her studies.
She made everyone proud. Now at the University of Texas at Dallas, Rosemary maintains a 4.0 as a pre-law and HR management major. And she volunteers at the local food bank to help those who, like her, once could count on little to eat.
Rosemary is the first in her family to go to college.
