Maricela talks to a representative from the University of Texas at an ACC transfer fair for students looking to continue their higher education. After completing the GED program in 2016, Maricela began coursework in criminal justice. “I felt that, if I could be in the criminal justice system, that I could make a difference because those kids and I, we can relate," she told me, "and I feel that I could have the compassion to work with them... which is, you know, something that I always longed for when Christian was involved in the juvenile system.”
