Aided by scholarships, recent LSUS graduate overcomes lack of formal education to earn teaching degee
Vina Perez (left, pictured with her son, Samuel) was working in her father’s construction business when other children her age were learning their ABCs.
Determined to improve her situation, at age 10 she started teaching herself to read.
That same determination spurred her to enroll in college at age 35 as an example to her son, Samuel.
Vina received numerous scholarships, including awards that provide a stipend for student teachers.
