Associate Program Director, and SF State Alum Tachelle Herron, said that staff have gone out of their way to provide students with programming that honors their success amid the struggles brought on by the pandemic. Last May, after many in-person graduation ceremonies were cancelled, Gray and her staff made it a priority to make students feel special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe [referring to Gray] went out of her way to get packages [to students] and make sure that their special day was celebrated,\u201d Herron said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cMy privilege keeps me going. I was told very young I have the right to go to college.\u201d Herron said. \u201cYou can not stop. You must finish. Go get a degree.\u201d<\/p><cite> Tachelle Herron<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Students notice the hard work put in by Gray, Herron and the other staff who comprise the organization. Moanee Angel-Short, a highschool junior who has worked with Herron since the sixth grade, said that 100% College Prep is a supportive place where she feels the staff is looking out for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI like how everyone here is so supportive,\u201d Angel-Short said. \u201cAll the adults have your best interests at heart. It&#8217;s just very helpful for people who struggle in school and also people who don&#8217;t struggle, but just need support in general.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Angel-Short can attest to the success of the organization, she lamented the impact the pandemic has had on her experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBefore there were a lot more kids coming,\u201d Angel-Short said. \u201cWe usually play board games after we finish our work, but we can\u2019t do that now because you have to stay six feet away.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Six feet is a small stretch when you compare it to the length of time since 100% College Prep\u2019s inception at the tail end of the previous millennium. In describing the origin of the nonprofit, Gray said that the idea came from a \u201cconversation with young people, that just wasn\u2019t what we wanted to hear\u201d one day while tutoring students. The conversation left Gray and others present as though there were unmet needs in the community. What happened after was genuine community building.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe just wanted our young people to prepare for their futures, but that wasn&#8217;t their mindset,\u201d Gray said. \u201cBefore we knew it we had their parents involved, other parents involved and the community involved. It just really blew up from there.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As far her work at the nonprofit goes, Herron said that what keeps her going is paying forward the privilege she was afforded as a young student by one of her mentors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy privilege keeps me going. I was told very young I have the right to go to college,\u201d Herron said. \u201cYou can not stop. You must finish.
