Dayry Viana Rivera

 

College Attending:  Northern Virginia Community College

 

Dayry Viana Rivera was awarded the Miss Mask scholarship.  Dayry hopes to become a teacher.  She has spent time during high school both teaching at her church and tutoring younger children and has found both to be rewarding.  Dayry’s father lost his job and was unable to find employment for several months.  When he was able to resume work, it was at a lower salary.  Under these circumstances, Dayry was afraid that educational dreams would be put on hold until her family could replenish savings.  With the Mask scholarship Dayry is attending Northern Virginia Community College.
