Today we’d like to introduce you to Yohanna Machado
Yohanna, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I started AllCultureConnect as a result of my own experiences with the American Education System. I dealt with anxiety and immense sadness due to the fact that, compared to my peers, I had no idea what to do to be a competitive student for colleges. They all knew the tips and the tricks to do so due to their parents attending school in America, but I didn’t have that luxury at all. Eventually, I learned. I bought books, read articles—researched everything I could to make myself a great applicant. Now as a senior, I want to pass on this knowledge to help others and build them up.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It has been a struggle, a program is not the easiest thing to start of course. At first there was no traction, I guess people thought that it was a scam or that you had to pay for the services. Though eventually, more and more people started to become interested. I’m really happy about that.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about All Culture Connect?
This program was started by me, but it’s an entire network of volunteers. We offer tutoring for math and science K-12, high school counseling, and we even help parents enroll their children in K-12 schools. I think these services combined really makes us unique as most educational programs really only offer tutoring, instead, this program helps with everything related to education.
Can you talk to us about how you think about risk?
Oh, it was a major risk starting this program. It took a lot of money to buy the website domain, the money for the services I use to make my videos, the money for the subscription of creating the non-video posts, and etc. I feel like I am a risk taker and to become successful, you need to take risks.
