Hi Everyone,

I’m Juan Del Toro and here is my video, “Raising the Rates.” In this video, I’m showing the percentages of Latinos attending college and how motivation could help make a positive affect on these percentages. For this video, I asked a number of students to write down facts of the percentages of Latinos in college. (Special thanks to the people who made this video possible.)

My message is to inform the public of how motivation would be able to make a positive change in the Latino community. My audience is the world, because motivation should be given to everyone in order to make a positive affect on what you believe in. I spent at most two hours or less on making this video. If I had more time, I would have added in more people writing down the opportunities that are offered to Latinos and on how “spreading the word” about these opportunities, along with motivation, could also make a positive affect in the rates of Latinos attending college.

I hope you enjoy,

Juan Del Toro
