The days of Gabrielle Acevedo walking into class at Rufus King High school are ticking away one-by-one. As a senior, there are roughly 100 days until she graduates. But, she knows what she wants to do after the gets her diploma. “Personally, I’ve always known what I wanted to do,” Acevedo said. “I’ve had the same dream since I was a little girl.” That dream is to go to the University of Wisconsin and eventually become a physician assistant or a doctor. She credits her readiness for college to the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Precollege Enrichment Opportunity Program for Learning Excellence, known as PEOPLE.
