YOU make a difference in your community…
Ihsan Abdussabur, senior
Ihsan is a jack-of-all-trades. He plays piano, recites poetry and cares about the environment. He goes by “Black Root” when he’s on stage reciting poems about the plight of people of color. He credits Common Ground for his maturation as a man, environmental justice leader and poet.
“This school matters because it’s extremely accepting of the black community, the LGBTQ community. That’s a big part. This school creates leaders and our world and our country needs that right now. This school helps create people to change the world for the better, this school means a lot.”
YOU help to change lives…
Jenisha Khadka, junior
Jenisha is from Nepal. She came to the U.S., five years ago, knowing no English. Thanks to a program at Common Ground, she’s now taking a college level class at Yale and said she is hoping to go to an Ivy League college to become a doctor. She said if she went to a different school, she would not be pursuing her dream of becoming a doctor.
“Common Ground gives us a lot of opportunities and this is one of them. They let us take classes at Yale, Gateway and Southern and you can pick any class you want and the timing doesn’t really matter, they make it work for you and your schedule so you don’t miss classes at school.”
