Giving back to others should be a priority for all of us. It is for Jennifer Juarez Yoc, who looks to faith and family as inspiration to serve others.
Jenny, as she likes to be called, just passed her MCAT, the notoriously difficult medical college admissions test.Her mom Mariasmin is very proud of Jenny."My mom is saying that she's very proud," said Juarez Yoc as she interpreted for her mom."And [she is saying] that since I was a little girl, I have loved to study. and she would buy me bible books for children and it had pictures and that I would finish that book and she would buy me another.
" I think it's very sad that they have come to normalize shootings," Juarez Yoc said."One night when I was 14 there was a shooting right outside my window. And I look, you know, over my window and there is tons of police, there's like the yellow tape. There is a mom who comes crying and she's like, 'My baby! My baby.' It was a young person that had been shot, you know, and died.
"I am really grateful to have grown up in this neighborhood," declared Juarez Yoc."I am really proud to have grown up in this neighborhood."
