“From subsidized apartments in gritty Orange County neighborhoods, 40 high school students began preparations to board a charter bus before dawn Monday, packing with them dreams of a college education.
By 7 a.m. the Latino students had hopped on what organizers called the “Barrio to Boardroom Bus” in Santa Ana for a week-long tour of college campuses in Northern California.
Many of the teens had never stayed in a hotel or traveled outside Southern California. Thirty-five of the teenagers hoped to be the first in their families to graduate college.”
