In May, he will be the first in his family to receive a college diploma.
Flores credits his father, who he’d worked with on construction sites from the age of 15, for motivating him to pursue college.
“He was like, ‘I know you can get something better. I want you to study, get a good degree, and not be working a job like mine,’” he said.
Flores attended KIPP Denver Collegiate High School and credits his counselors there for helping him navigate his path to CSU. “I don’t think I would have attended CSU if it weren’t for [them], honestly,” he said.
