  • My parents worked day and night to afford things. I decided to change this dynamic by focusing on my education while helping others feel a sense of belonging and achievement. I learned to speak out in my Mexican community and represent my culture. A first-gen college student, I plan to become an immigration attorney. I am super grateful for this blessing to my education.
