Sustainability practices are done all over the world to try to improve people’s lives for the better. Well that was the case with a Philadelphian girl name Alyssa Ramos-Reynoso. Alyssa was homeless for about three years, staying over friends house and having to sleep down in the subway. She didn’t have the support system she needed and she did everything for herself. Eventually she graduated from Arcadia University in 2013. Soon after Reynoso formed a high school based on sustainability with the help of her friends. The school was meant to educated young adults with “sustainable skills, along with business acumen,”. Alyssa said in the article “The goal is to create project-based curriculum that teaches math, science, english and history through sustainable projects.” About four months after Alyssa had this idea she went over to Dominican Republic with her team and talked to the former President about their idea.
