Jaylen Wright and his mom, Sofia Garcia.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

By Dr. Linda Alvarado-Arce<\/strong><\/p>\n

By being the only one, or one of very few, employed with Mr. Snow Removal and Landscaping, Jaylen Wright, a 15-year-old Waite High School student, is proving to be a young student who has chosen to work 5-6 days a week, making $20 an hour, and wants to share this opportunity with others that may be interested in getting a job.<\/p>\n

Currently, Jaylen is a freshman at Waite, taking three Math classes, has good grades, and is looking forward to taking business management classes, his major, as he furthers his career. And his mom, Sofia Garcia, is \u201cvery proud of him, and God willing,\u201d she says, \u201cI can’t wait to see where his career takes him.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jaylen Wright, estudiante de 15 a\u00f1os de la Preparatoria Waite, es un gran ejemplo de la diferencia que nuestra juventud latina puede marcar en nuestra comunidad.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Por la Dra. Linda Alvarado-Arce<\/strong><\/p>\n

Al ser el \u00fanico, o uno de los pocos, empleado de Mr. Snow Removal and Landscaping, Jaylen Wright, estudiante de 15 a\u00f1os de la Preparatoria Waite, demuestra ser un joven estudiante que ha elegido trabajar de 5 a 6 d\u00edas a la semana, ganando $20 la hora, y quiere compartir esta oportunidad con otras personas interesadas en conseguir un trabajo.<\/p>\n

Actualmente, Jaylen en su primer a\u00f1o en Waite, tiene tres clases de matem\u00e1ticas, buenas calificaciones, y va a estudiar administraci\u00f3n de empresas, su especialidad, mientras avanza en su carrera. Su madre, Sof\u00eda Garc\u00eda, est\u00e1 “muy orgullosa de \u00e9l y, si Dios quiere,” dice, “espero mirar ad\u00f3nde lo lleva su carrera.”<\/p>\n
