We also present an evaluation of the program conducted by Dr. Susan E. Moreno, Assistant Director of the University’s\u003Cbr>Institutional Research office, and we say goodbye and goodluck to Maria Cobio, our Special Programs Counselor, who has been incharge of our Academic Achievers Program at Austin High School.\u003Cbr>The articles by the students have common themes. Each was born outside of the United States, and came here to pursue opportunities anda better life. They encountered cultural obstacles, but their ambitions and will to succeed propelled them forward towards a college education.\u003Cbr>Laura Hernandez migrated to the U.S. from Mexico by herself when she was fourteen years old to live with her uncle. Her transition to the U. S. was difficult because she did not speak English. She describes her experiences of adapting to the [U.S. as](U.S. as) overwhelming. Through perseverance,\u003Cbr>| however, she mastered the language and was fluent in English by the end of her sophomore year in high school. She is now a sophomore at UH and is pursuing a degree in Advertising. After considering several majors, she decided upon Advertising because it allows her to conceptualize the best way to present information to the public.\u003Cbr>Chantal Nguyen was born in France and came to the U.S. with her parents when she was eleven years old. She likewise struggled because of the language barrier and her unfamiliarity with the culture. She had to work from her arrival to help her parents earn a living and she credits this work experience for giving her an interest in business. She also says that she has always had a passion for wanting to become a healthcare professional. She developed an aptitude for biology and math while in high school. Thus, when she enrolled atthe University of Houston she decided to pursue a degree in Optometry. She graduated in 2008 and is now a first-year student in the College of Optometry.\u003Cbr>Guillermo Velasco is also from Mexico and he has a story that is very familiar.

During her adolescence she attended the American School and married at age seventeen. She readily acknowledges the different educational expectations of that era, especially for girls. “In my generation in Mexico, no one told us [girls] we could do anything except be secretaries, and then get married. So that’s all we did. We didn’t have educational goals.”  \nWhile raising two children, Franzheim studied the liberal arts. Her first pioneering role arose out of her concerns regarding birth control. She engaged MEXFAM, a branch of the International Planned Parenthood Federation. Her work resulted in the establishment of a desperately needed clinic in a densely populated, poor neighborhood in Mexico City. She says,“When I started working on birth control issues in Mexico fifteen years ago, no one else was doing it.” Franzheim and her cousins donated the money to start this first clinic. A British international organization provided additional monetary backing through MEXFAM. The first challenge once the clinic was open was to forge a bond of trust with the people they were trying to help. Once this was established the  \nJorgina Franzheim   \neducation about all the available methods of birth control could begin. Franzheim lauds the fact that attitudes in Mexico about birth control are finally changing and notes that last year a bill was passed in that country legalizing abortion.  \nContinued on page 11  \n 2  NOTICIAS  \nCENTER FOR MEXICAN AMERICAN STUDIES EXCELLENCE ENDOWMENT/ ADVISORY COMMITTEE  \nCHAIR  \nRosanna Gomez Moreno, J.D.  \nExecutive Director  \nInternational Business Development Memorial Hermann, Texas Medical Center  \nCOMMITTEE MEMBERS  \nE.
