RIMS AVID Podcast Chad West Valley HS

RIMS AVID Podcast


This podcast is an interview of an AVID senior named Chad from West Valley High School in Hemet, CA.  Chad has overcome many serious obstacles on the road to college including death and the imprisonment of family members, so I ask him how he did it and how AVID helped him get college fully paid for.  I also ask how he selected the university that he'll be attending next year (UC Riverside) and what advice he has for others.  Oh, and did I mention that Chad is the Valedictorian at West Valley?!?
