Thursday: Youth Dreams: Taynara Goncalves
Taynara Goncalves dream is to become a physician.
Through Stone Soup’s program, I was given the necessary tools and the support to understand the college process. Stone Soup has given me opportunities that I otherwise wouldn’t have had. It has not only guided me to achieve my dreams but has allowed me to help others in achieving theirs. Being a facilitator has allowed me to grow as a leader and has brought many blessings.
