Mary Ann Magno

Mary Ann watched her parents sacrifice and struggle endlessly. Her father lived with a speech and hearing disability, preventing stable work, and her mother was unemployed after high school. With three other siblings, the family’s finances were constantly stretched thin. But Mary Ann persevered, oftentimes walking to the port to find a cell signal so she could complete her homework. Today, with the support of a U-GO scholarship, she is a proud graduate and employed, proving courage pays off.
