Graduation is a major milestone for Common Hope students. It is a goal that many have worked tirelessly towards, and for some, they are the first in their family to receive a high school degree.
We wanted to share this letter from Michelle, one of the students who graduated this past November. It so beautifully reflects the emotion and excitement of graduation. We have translated Michelle’s words into English so that you may read her message to all of you who support Common Hope’s mission. Thank you for helping students like Michelle fulfill their dreams.
With this letter I’m sending my warmest greetings to the leaders of Common Hope, wishing you blessings from God.
I wish to express to each and every one of you my deepest and honest gratitude for the support you gave me to be able to study. I feel grateful that God and life put people like you in my path. Wonderful people who supported me unconditionally to move forward and fulfill my dream of graduation.
Now that I have fulfilled another dream of mine, I wish to share with you my triumph and joy that I feel realizing that my effort, my dedication, my persistence, my constancy and not being defeated by any obstacle made this possible.

I wish to offer this diploma to God, to my family, to Common Hope and to a very special person in my life, my Sponsor Dr. Jane Carlstrom. God bless you for all the support you gave to me. I love you so much and you will always be in my heart. You won a very special place in heaven for being such a noble and extraordinary person that helped me unconditionally.
In the name of my family and myself, I am thankful for all the people that God put on my path, angels that I had the chance to meet and also the people that make it possible that Common Hope is operating. With your cooperative spirit and your good hearts you help families of our beloved Guatemala. God bless you.
Kind regards, Michelle Linda Maria
