Joshua Alvarado, a senior at South Gate High School, thought he was just attending career day on campus Friday but it turned out to be much more.
He was surprised with a $50,000 college scholarship. Alvarado's mom and siblings were there to witness the moment, which was a surprise for them too. The family shared a tearful moment.
"The first thing I saw was I saw he had the check. I said, 'oh my God yes.' I can't believe it. I knew he had applied for it. But when one sees its real, I felt a lot of emotions," said Rodriguez. Rodriguez's husband passed away five years ago. Since then one of the biggest challenges the family has faced is his absence. Rodriguez took it upon herself to work hard and be the household's source of income so the kids could all focus on their studies.
"He always wanted me to push myself academically. To reach higher. He'd tell me to focus in school. Do your studies. Become something. And just to be able to tell him, I did it dad," said Alvarado.
