Kennia Garcia

Kennia traveled an hour and a half from her home to attend one of the best public schools in Chicago where, as a freshman, she was already taking classes with juniors and seniors.
As the first generation in her family graduate from high school, Kennia serves as a role model for her younger sibling to go on to college.
Passionate about global cultures and languages, she studied Italian and American sign language, was President of her Italian Club, and shadowed a Spanish translator at Cook County Court House.
