Throughout school, it can be often difficult and overwhelming to many students especially as the school year goes on. From the beginning of the school year, it is very important to stay focused on your class but the fact that there are moments when a student does not get a break can make people wonder if there is any help that these students receive. In fact, yes, there are through La Joya not only through teachers but there are counselors, and various resources that are located in the media center of La Joya’s library. For instance, a resource that students truly have found helpful is the TRIO program, one of the coordinators being Summer Tran, she is a coordinator for this program and not only helped students along their way to college but even aspects of school now and not just their future. Summer Tran would often encourage students to keep going just as other resources at La Joya such as counselors. It can be taken into account how tremendously these resources such as the TRIO program can be of help to students in need. For instance, a testament to the TRIO program is senior student Guadalupe Perez Cabrera has said “Through this program, I have been able to stay on track for college and have gained knowledge of what different paths I could take through this resource and connect to others as well.” Not only can this be an outlet for students to talk to someone regarding their future but what they are facing and how each challenge one faces, can be overcome with these resources. Yes, these resources consist of readiness for a life after high school but these resources also manage to stay intact on the idea of helping students in the present essentially, looking for what a student may or may not need. Through programs and even counselors, one can connect with someone on a deeper level which could help students bring to light what they have not said to those they may not be so close to. Through each resource, it is important to focus on one’s studies but to help them the best they can be through their studies and especially through any and every challenge they face.
