A Young Man’s Journey
My name is Jose M., I have been a participant of the
Pathways/Senderos program for over six years.
Throughout these years I have seen many changes:
changes in my life, the lives of others, and in the
community.
When I started I had no dreams of school or college. No
one in my family had ever gone past the eighth grade. But
Pathways showed me that it didn’t have to be like that.
They showed me a path and I took it. They took me in as a
little boy and helped shape me into a young man ready to
take on the world. They did this by providing many tutors
to help me work on my academics, and a job-training
course in which I learned how to go about getting a job
and conducting a successful interview.
Pathways opened my eyes to the many options I held.
With their guidance I was the first in my family to
graduate from middle school. This June I will be the first
to graduate from high school and this fall I will be the first
to attend a University.
But I’m not the only one who has benefited from the
Pathways program. Pathways has helped many others and
their families. They offer food for those who need it and
they also have offered support to those in need as they
help them back on their feet. Pathways has always been
here to help.
Throughout the years Pathways has helped clean up its
community. We have participated in cleaning up graffiti by
painting over it, we have walked up and down Arch Street
picking up garbage, and we’ve even mapped out and
pushed for the Arch Street basketball court that so many
kids from the community share. Pathways is a well-
rounded program. It has helped out in every aspect of my
life with one goal, to see me succeed, and I am forever
grateful. (Written by Jose M., 17, in April 2002)
