David Technical High School. Hi, my name is David Barbosa. I'm a junior at Greater Lowell
0:13
Technical High School and I'm a student at UMass Lowell's Early College Program. My mother and father immigrated from Brazil
0:21
over to here and I was born in Lowell. For my family, college has always been the
0:28
apex of education and really important for success over here in the United States. My family didn't have the
0:36
opportunity. So, they really want me to be successful and they want me to go to college so that that way I can learn as much as I can. And I would certainly
0:45
recommend this early college program to my friends, peers, and family members because it's just a huge opportunity. I
0:54
mean, not only do you save a lot of money by doing this program, but you also get an experience as to what it's like being a UMass Lowell student or any sort of university student.
