As
a freshman at Cal State San Marcos, Cipriano Vargas' grades were so
low, his part-time job waiting tables so consuming and his home life
with eight siblings so chaotic that he was on the verge of dropping out.
The first-generation college student and son of parents with an
elementary school education struggled to maintain a 1.9 grade point
average. "I didn't have the skill or ability to manage time," said
Vargas, 21. "My parents didn't understand the complexity of going to
college, that it wasn't just two hours of classes and then I'm back
home.
