"Breakthrough Houston has been with me since middle school—and they’re still by my side as I work toward becoming a dermatologist. Their guidance, test prep, financial aid support, and even emergency assistance helped me enter college confident and prepared. As a first-gen student and child of immigrants, I’m building the future I once only imagined." - Diodivine N.
