Lake Worth High School senior Jeilyn Sevilla Nunez is a fellow in the Path to College program. She will become the first in her family to go to college, thanks to the support and guidance from Path to College.

"I applied to eight schools across the United States. I got accepted into all of the schools, but I ultimately decided to go to FAU with a full ride," she said.

When she first got to high school, Nunez said she didn't know if she would even go to college.
