Teen Follows Mom’s College Dream

Christopher Suggs’ mom interrupted her college dream to give birth to him and raise him with the attention he deserved.

Seventeen years later, Christopher is completing the dream —  now that his top choice for college, Morgan State University, has accepted him for admission this coming fall.

His mom had a partner in helping Chris get there: New Haven’s LEAP youth academics and recreation agency.

LEAP organizes tours of Southern colleges for the teens who work at the nonprofit as youth counselors. Christopher ended up going on four of those tours.
