Local teen leading the march

As many seniors in Gilroy prepare for graduation, my friend Lea Ready is busy visiting potential colleges and trying to decide on which to attend. Spring break was an opportunity to visit open houses for many Gilroy seniors. Lea took a road trip with her mom all the way from Sonoma State down to Cal State Long Beach and back up to UC Santa Cruz to visit all the colleges to which she had been accepted. Not having any children myself, I have lived this senior year vicariously, listening to young people describe the rigors of SAT testing, filling out college applications and scholarship applications. I have also had the opportunity to observe Lea’s steady progress for the past 10 years as she grew from a child into the amazing young woman she is now as an 18-year-old senior at Christopher High.
