Where is Valentino now, and how is he doing?
After taking many years of community-college classes in Atlanta, Valentino was admitted this year as a sophomore to Allegheny College in Meadville, Pennsylvania. Having sought an excellent (and small) liberal-arts college away from the bustle of a big city, Valentino found it with Allegheny, and began his first semester in the fall of 2006. The entire Allegheny faculty and admissions staff has been extraordinary in their support, and Valentino is studying political science and international diplomacy. Though he has realized his dream of admission into a four-year college, there are thousands of other Lost Boys who are still trying to find the means to attend college.
