“I am a first-generation college student and son of veteran Corporal Richard Pineiro USMC. Currently, dad works with the postal service. My father has always been a great example of discipline, strength, and endurance. Whenever I’ve faced a challenge, it is his example that inspired me to press forward. My scholarship from the MCSF has made it possible for me to study Electrical Engineering at Broward College. I particularly enjoy the Tech Club, where we learn about algorithms in action. To show gratitude for my education, I plan to give back by using my abilities as an engineer and programmer to develop devices that assist and improve the lives of those who are less fortunate.”
