Stories from Pace Manatee

Lizeth's Story

Growing up in an immigrant family, Lizeth wanted to be the first in her family to graduate from high school but struggled with testing. “You guys were on me – I hated it then, but now I am glad you did! Ms. Mercedes, my Counselor, worked through things and even helped me after school. Pace gave me the time I needed and helped me grow personally. I’m now attending the Cosmetology Program at Manatee Technical College while working part-time at a salon. Pace even provided a scholarship for me to attend!” When asked what brings her joy, Lizeth responded “I’ve been able to do new things with my life because of Pace.”
