Evelyn Bellinger
CSU East Bay
"I come from a family with nine children, and we value education and strive to be the best at whatever we do. Many times, though, I’ve seen myself as someone who isn’t going to make it because of coming from a low-income family, and living in poverty. I look past all my hardships and obstacles, though, and they have made me a stronger being. Now my life is more incredible because I’m continuing my education – I’m going to college."
