12th grade, Del Amigo High School, San Ramon Valley USD
Angie Molina grew up faster than she should have. With her father absent and responsibilities at home piling up, school became another place where she struggled to stay afloat. By high school, graduation felt out of reach. Then Angie transferred to Del Amigo Continuation High School and found adults willing to see the person behind the behavior. She kept showing up. Slowly, trust turned into confidence, and confidence turned into leadership. Angie began guiding students through credit completion and goal-setting while finding her own way forward. In November 2025, months ahead of schedule, Angie became the first in her family to earn her high school diploma.
“I am proud of myself because all of my high school, I never thought I’d make it this far until I came to Del Amigo, and it brought my spark back after being in the dark for so long.”
