![]() By Geovanna Estrada Staff Writer Many Hubbard students are in the Urban Alliance organization and one of them got to meet the first lady of Chicago. It was Antonio Martinez who got to meet her in person. When asked how it was to meet the first lady of Chicago Antonio said, “I knew who she was as it was announced at fall kick off. Fall kick off was an event where we first met our mentors. It’s nice to have her there supporting the organization, through her we were given the opportunity to join Urban Alliance.” Antonio was also asked whether it was hard or not to juggle both work and school he said, “I don’t think it’s hard, but keeping up with assignments from both ends is challenging. Getting out of school early is a nice thing and commuting is fun.” Antonio also told us a bit about what his experience in the Urban Alliance program. He said, “I am still experiencing. So far I’ve enjoyed and taken the most out of this internship. From building computers from scratch to attending the company’s holiday party. It’s an exciting experience.” Most of us are aware of Urban Alliance; it is a non-profit organization that seeks high school seniors to enroll and give a chance to work in a professional workplace. This organization originated in Washington D.C., and made its way to Chicago, Illinois. In order to enroll in this program students need a 2.0 GPA or higher, attend pre-work in order to start working, must commit to it, dedicate time, and do well in both school and work. This program is great opportunity for the underclassmen that are thinking about getting a job and get further informed on what procedures to take if they plan on joining.
