Mark Travis Rivera recounts a pivotal moment in his life when he was granted one of only 100 available college slots on the condition that he promised to fully commit to his education.

Mark reflects on his journey at William Patterson University, where he kept his promise by excelling academically, making the Dean's List, and becoming a student leader—all while working multiple jobs.

He credits two influential women, Betty and Carmen Ortiz, for seeing his potential beyond his GPA and test scores, and for fundamentally changing his life's trajectory.
