YUMA. AZ — Getting an education in Yuma can look much different than in other parts of Arizona. You will find hundreds of students who cross the border daily to get to school.
"You never know if you're going to get a secondary revision or, maybe, they're using the K9, so that takes a lot of time," said Sanchez."I miss, that years before, we didn't have that, and now we do. There shootings all the time," said Sanchez. "I'm always stressed about it. 'How's the line going to be tomorrow? How's the line going to be today?'" said Iviana Rodriguez, a student at Arizona Western College.
Rodriguez's grandfather recently offered up his car, which she will use on two of her three school days. Although she feels safer driving, there is a lot more planning involved. "That is tough; that's exhausting," said Omar Heredia, advising and student services coordinator at AWC's San Luis Learning Center."Let's find you one from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. and another one from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Then, that last one, from 12:00 to 1:00 pm, and that way, you're crossing the border. Once you've taken on your three classes, you have time to go to tutoring," said Heredia.
