The Florida College System Activities Association<\/span><\/a> recognized Homestead Campus student Karla Collazo as the January Student of the Month for her outstanding leadership skills, academic success, and community service commitment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Motivated by helping others, Collazo, a 17-year-old freshman at Miami Dade College, led a clothing drive to donate clean clothes to the homeless. She decorated collection boxes for youth, adolescents, and the elderly, and then placed them around campus. After collecting donations for a month, Collazo was able to donate 15 bags of clothing to the Chapman Partnership Homeless Shelter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Born and raised in Cuba, Collazo came to the United States three years ago. After adjusting to being in a new country, Collazo was determined to take advantage of the opportunities and resources she is given that aren\u2019t available in her native country.<\/span><\/p>\n

Graduating at the top 15 percent of her class at South Dade Senior High School, she is currently a pre-health science major with a 4.0 GPA. Also a part of the pre-health science club at Homestead Campus, Collazo strives to become a doctor.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI want to go to a medical school and become a doctor to fully get to help others get better,\u201d Collazo said. \u201cThe awe of discovering the human body, and the gratitude for helping someone through a difficult situation are the main reasons why I want to become a doctor.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
