How they beat the odds to make it to college | Roadtrip Nation: Beating the Odds

No one expected these three college students to be where they are now, but their journey has only just begun. Making it to school was the first challenge, but they need all the wisdom and advice they can get to keep going—and that’s why they’re about to go on this road trip. “Roadtrip Nation: Beating the Odds” was fueled by ACT’s Center for Equity in Learning, with advisory support from Better Make Room. Watch the full film: https://roadtripnation.com/roadtrip/beating-the-odds About "Beating the Odds": When everything is stacked against you, college may seem out of reach. But if a degree is your goal, nothing can hold you back. On paper, Esther, Ikie, and Estephanie aren’t supposed to have made it to college. From unstable foster homes to financial insecurities, the obstacles they’ve encountered have, at times, seemed insurmountable. But even with everything stacked against them, they saw that college could be their way out—so they fought for it, tooth and nail. Now, as the three cross the country to hear how others beat the odds to make it through graduation and beyond, they’ll see that by pursuing their college degrees, they’re not just shaking free of what’s weighing them down—they’re joining a rising tide with the power to lift up all of the communities they love. -- About Roadtrip Nation: Stories to help you figure out what you want to do with your life, and tools to help you plan how to get there.
