"I did a musical, my first musical called Smokey Joe's café. I was in an audition and someone actually stole my phone from my bag while they had people stepping in and out. I had to gather myself to continue the audition. Look at the bigger picture and see that I really wanted to be in the show this is a moment that isn't going to come around again, the phone can be replaced, but the moment can't." - Tiffany Taylor
"I do better and I focus on doing better more so because of my nine-year old. He's my priority. His name is Peter – he just turned nine on Saturday." - Angelica Martinez
"I Am Lehman"
"I Am Lehman" unites the voices of five students whose journeys brought them from very different places to the gates of Lehman College. Despite limited resources, Edmund Asiedu, Britna Bennett, Ruby Cabuya, Gustavo Figueiredo and Tenzena Rahman overcame their humble beginnings and found in Lehman a unique place to grow and thrive. Thanks to scholarship support, these exceptional students have overcome personal and financial challenges that might have otherwise kept them from attending college at all. Their dreams and drive to succeed are at the core of the Lehman spirit.
