| Summary: | This document profiles the educational experience of 10 migrants who were faced with the decision of working or attending school. The problems they encountered were commonly shared by migrants: the difficulties associated with changing schools two or three times a year; having to work instead of going to school; or having to learn a new language. However, they all overcame tremendous odds to finish school or to achieve their lifelong goals. Each profile discusses their personal experience as a migrant, what they attribute their success to, and a message to migrant youth that stresses the importance of education and establishing personal goals. The profiles include a professional golfer; a professional football player; a radio announcer; a licensed practical nurse; migrant educators; a care provider; a priest; and a college instructor.
