Christina was the first in her family to attend college. She credits her success to David Ness, her longtime SOWMA tutor and mentor. David kept her focused on her studies throughout middle and high school despite the disruption and uncertainty of homelessness. Today Christina is a confident college student who embraces academic challenges using the discipline and tools she learned from David. "If I didn't recall all of the principles of chemistry," said David at our recent gala, "I'd ask her explain it to me so I knew she was on track," he laughed. David began this academic year circling back to where he started, tutoring another student facing homelessness. This time when the chemistry assignments arise, he'll remember the lessons he learned from Christina.
