Technology Empowerment for their Parents
The One Million NIU Coalition held a series of graduation ceremonies this Fall 2012. Many times we capture the impact to the adults attending the course and graduating. This time we turn our focus to the children. Listen in on the impact to their lives. Such an inspiration for all children, regardless of their age..

Success Story:

Parent Advocate Maximina Soto

One Million NIU Graduate - Los Angeles

“The first email I ever wrote in class was to my son who was serving in the military in Afghanistan. At first he didn't believe it was me,” Maximina laughs. “I finally convinced him and wrote I was taking classes and learning how to use the computer to better my life.” As a mother and grandmother, Maxi (short for Maximina) has always been involved in their education. NIU training has improved communication with her children and she now feels she can relate to them more. She is excited to talk ‘computer talk’ with her grandchildren. Traveling to Fresno and the Silicon Valley for the California’s One Million NIU Conferences has made Maxi a community-superstar impressing community, state, and education leaders with her life changing story. Help us empower more parents and grandparents like Maximina!
