From Combat to Campus

  • by Sarah Colwell

When José Roa graduated from high school in Woodland, California, college didn’t feel like an option.

“I didn’t think I was college material,” he said. “I just didn’t connect with school at the time.”

 

So instead of enrolling, Roa enlisted in the U.S. Army. What he found there changed the course of his life.
