UCF honors student Lauren Ramirez speaks to a fourth-grade class at Pineloch Elementary School participating in AVID.
Stephanie Gopal’s parents – immigrants from Guyana – didn’t attend college. But they always emphasized the importance of pursuing a higher education.
Now the UCF freshman and aspiring doctor is encouraging younger students to stay in school and go on to college. She is one of more than 140 UCF freshmen teaching more than 2,500 elementary schoolers from several of Orange County’s most underserved schools.
The outreach effort is a new partnership between UCF and Orange County Public Schools and is part of a national college readiness program, Advancement Via Individual Determination, or AVID.
This month marks the first time that Orange County is using AVID’s curriculum in elementary schools, as the program has traditionally targeted middle and high schoolers.
It’s also one of the first times that college students are teaching the program in public schools, where University of Central Florida honors students’ involvement will act as a pilot program for similar partnerships across the country.
At Palmetto Elementary School, Gopal is teaching a class of fourth-graders that they can aspire to whatever they want to be, regardless of their backgrounds.
“Many of their parents didn’t go to college, and most of the kids don’t know it’s even an option,” Gopal says of the students she’s helping. “We’re putting the idea in their heads that if they want to go to college, they can.”
Although AVID is new to Orange County elementary schoolers, its success has already been documented among older students. In its 30-year history, the program has served nearly 400,000 students at more than 4,500 schools across the country.
Of the 239 most recent Orange County high school graduates involved with AVID, 100 percent were accepted to a four-year university or two-year college or enlisted in the military.

short sale my house now
Short sale: Also known as a real estate short pay-off or a pre-foreclosure workout, a short sale is an agreement with a lender to accept less than the amount owed by a borrower via a sale of the property to a third party. With this agreement, the lender releases the borrower from the mortgage, thereby preventing foreclosure. In order to be eligible for a short sale, a homeowner must be able to prove to the lender that they are a victim to a "hardship" and are therefore unable to continue making payments on their mortgage. A hardship situation is one that is the result of some extenuating circumstance that forced the borrower into a position where they can no longer afford their mortgage payments. While every situation is unique, some common examples of hardship include:
· Unemployment or loss of primary income source · Inability to work due to health crisis · Mounting medical expenses · Employment relocation · Failure of business · Bankruptcy · Death of spouse or significant other • Divorce or separationClick here --> Short Sale NOW Foreclosure situations tend to be extremely time sensitive.
