Petey Greene Student Angela Livingston shares her appreciation for TEJI TA and PGP Tutor Max Raven
Max Raven, TEJI TA and Petey Greene Program Tutor.
Angela Livingston, Petey Greene Program Student.
From the Petey Greene Program’s Student Spotlight series:
We were already working on a feature about Pittsburgh-based student Angela Livingston when she shared this letter about her PGP tutor, Max Raven. Max and Angela began their tutoring relationship while Max was a student in the U.S. He returned to his native England after graduating and they continue to work together via Zoom. Instead of us writing about Angela, we wanted to feature Angela in her own words. We’re incredibly proud of Angela’s hard work and progress in the two years she has worked with tutors Max and Jordan, and we’re honored to support her educational journey.
Hello, my name is Angela Livingston. I am a survivor of cancer, domestic abuse and child abuse. I’ve survived the prison system, being locked in institutions, drugs, alcohol, and loss. I tell you this not for you to feel sorry for me, but so you understand who I am and why I am passionate about achieving my goals.
