Elizabeth Cornejo

Student at South Lenoir High School

Elizabeth is a very hard working person always pushing for more in life. Her dad didn’t have the most, neither did her mom. Both of them as parents wanted to assure their kids that there is more in life than what was given to them as children. Growing up, Elizabeth was pushed in school and excelled despite the challenges of moving around she never stopped. She has shown a lot of leadership in her household taking care of her brother and the house while her dad is working. She just hopes to find more advice on how to further help others and herself in the college world in LatinxEd. Hopefully there is more to come in her path with this program.
