“When I got to Oakland, I knew that I was not going to just look for a job and make a few dollars,” Lolo said, now studying political science at the University of California, Berkeley. “The better education you have the better job you can get, and the kind of work I wanted to do required an education.”
“The lessons I value most from Laney and Alameda are about the importance of remembering your roots, remembering to take that education that transforms you and give back to the community- and make it better for the next generation after you. “
