Founder of iKiosk Solutions breaks down in front of students

San Antonio Express-News: When Tony Alvarez, founder of iKiosk Solutions, tried to explain his motivations for creating his company to an audience of high school students, his eyes filled with tears. "Once I went to a parent-teacher night," he said. "And my teacher said I'd be nothing but a blue-collar worker. It's been with me (since), and it hurts, because I'm sure a lot of kids are told that in the country." It took Alvarez three years to create a digital kiosk that displays and prints information and applications for financial aid, admission to Texas colleges, exams and high-demand job information and statistics. He hopes that through the kiosks he can encourage more students to attend college and help lower the number of high school dropouts in San Antonio.
