BY IRIS B. HOLTON Sentinel City Editor
Ms. Tatiyana Rich has completed all re- quirements and will be among the students graduating from Jefferson High School.
She plans to earn her B. S. degree in Nurs- ing as part of her immediate goals.
However, her plans don’t stop there. The 18-year-old has accomplished many achieve- ments as an Unaccompanied Youth during her tenure as a student.
Ms. Rich said, “My ultimate goal is to be- come a Pediatrician not only for myself, but for those that I can influence with my position. I want to be able to help and encourage other children that are dealing with issues at home that they cannot control, and to help those children that have been placed in circum- stances that are affecting them daily.
“By building a platform, I am able to reach and educate youth that have been in similar situations like mine.”
She has earned the Dale Carnegie Highest Award for Achievement; Honorable Mention in Photographer’s FORUM Magazine Con- test; and has been awarded a $20,000 Bailey Family Foundation Scholarship.
