Jhondy Cepeda, Highlight on PERSEVERANCE.
“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up”
- Thomas Edison.
Jhondy is an example of a young man who refused to give up. Receiving a low score in the College Placement Test on his first attempt was not something that would deter him from his goals. He sought out options and enrolled in an AccuPlacer Preparation Workshop offered by the STEM Program in Passaic County Community College. After re-taking the test, he managed to place at college math level. This allowed Jhondy to take advantage of STEM’s Dual Enrollment Program and earn college credits while still attending high school.
