Millsmont looks forward to working with OUSD to send more kids to college.
My hope and dream is to go to college so that I can be a doctor. This is my hope and dream because I want to be successful. My mom is going to be proud of me and I am going to be happy.
To reach my dream, this year I will have to do my work so I can be smarter at school so I can go to college. I am proud to be in school! I will be a good doctor!
