A Journey From Jamaica to a PhD, with Dr. Winston Benjamin

In this episode, Unpacking Education cohost Dr. Winston Benjamin shares his unique story of success. He retells his memories from growing up in Jamaica, his family’s journey to the Bronx in New York, and ultimately his move to Washington state where he earned his PhD.

As he tells his story, Winston explains the life lessons that he learned along the way and how those lessons have shaped him personally and professionally as an educator. By listening to his story, we can vicariously learn from his road to success. In turn, by implementing those lessons ourselves, we can help students be more successful in our classrooms. Through these insights, we can do as Winston says: “Let your kids be all they can be.” Visit AVID Open Access to learn more.
