She was unemployed when she applied but has a history of temporary farm work and scored 12.9 in Lectura, a4.9 in Math and a 2 on her essay. She showed up on time to every recruitment appointment and provided all the necessary documents to be admitted into the program.

Javier is a young man working 2 jobs with no set schedule from week to week. He scored 12.9 in Lectura and 12.9 in Matematicas and his essay was a 4.
