Oscar, a Mexican who grew up in Watts, was dealing drugs and stealing cars at the age of fourteen. His younger brother was in jail and his parents were shot in a violent crime. Exposed to the demanding discipline of the program, and bolstered by group support, he found the resources within himself to aspire to a college education.
