For the fourth time in
five years, a Chinquapin
Preparatory School senior
was selected as a Gates
Millennium Scholar. In ad-
dition, a Chinquapin senior
was chosen for the Posse
Scholarship for the second
year.
Chinquapin Prep, locat-
ed at 2615 East Wallisville
road in Highlands, is a
school that provides col-
lege-preparatory education
for low-income families in
the Greater Houston area.
With a graduating class
of 19, Chinquapin has an
average of 95 percent go-
ing to college.
The Millennium Schol-
ar this year is Karely Os-
orio, who had a 4.0 grade
point average and the Pos-
se Scholarship recipient
is Saul Sandoval with a

a grant

da Gates
Founda-
tion, was
estab-
lished in
1999 to
provide
outstanding low-income
minority students with an
opportunity to complete an
undergraduate and grad-
uate-school education in
any discipline they choose.
With her options opened,
Osorio still had a big de-
cision to make about her
future, which was influ-
enced by an adviser for the
School of Ethics and Glob-
al Leadership.
“When I spoke to my
adviser about college, I
told him that I didn’t know
where I was going,” she
said. “And so he asked me
why not Harvard? I then
proceeded to laugh in his
face and I told him that I
would never even consider
applying.”
Months later she applied
and currently plans to at-
tend Harvard University in
the fall where she wants to
major in folklore and my-
thology.
“I approached picking
my major with my curios-
ity,” Osorio said. “I asked
myself; what haven’t I
learned at my time here
(Chinquapin). For me, it
was the question of: How
did humanities thought
process of morality be-
gin?”
For Osorio, learning has
always come easy. When
she first arrived at Chin-
quapin she was immedi-
ately moved up to sev-
enth-grade in addition to
moving up to eighth-grade
math.
Sandoval, who was
awarded the Posse Schol-
arship, plans on attending
Virginia University.
He was nervous the day
after his final interview
with the foundation, know-
ing that they were calling
seniors with good news
and not initially calling
those who didn’t get it.
Throughout the day he
did homework, talked with
friends and tried to do any-
thing to get his mind off
the fact that he may not get
it.
“Later that day they
called me and told me that
they would be happy to
have me attend the Univer-
sity of Virginia,” Sandoval
said. “I ran across campus
screaming. It was one of
the greatest and emotional
days of my life.”
Eager to attend the Uni-
versity of Virginia, Sando-
val is still unsure of what
he wants to major in.
“After seven years, I
have grown to love every-
thing about Chinquapin
and would love to come
back and teach,” Sando-
val said. “But I also love
government and public
speaking and would enjoy
pursuing that as well. It’s a
tough decision but I know
I’ll be happy with whatev-
er I choose.”
Director of Chinquapin
Laura Henry said that their
school instills a good work
ethic so that they can be
successful once they leave.
“Our school day goes
from 8:15 a.m. to 5:20
p.m. everyday and the stu-
dents work together as a
community,” Director of
Chinquapin, Laura Hen-
ry said. “These kids work
extremely hard. Aside
from education they also
do community service and
are responsible for chores
around campus.”

“I was jumping up and

said. “It was a relief to
know that that I didn’t have
