Describe your college experience

My transition to college was not always easy at first. Adjusting to a new environment, managing classes, and balancing responsibilities took time. As I became more involved on campus and learned how to manage my schedule, I found my footing and gained confidence. My experience has helped me grow academically and personally, and I've enjoyed meeting people from different backgrounds and discovering opportunities that have helped me succeed.

Tip for future students

Don't be afraid to ask for help and get involved early. College can feel overwhelming at first, but most students are figuring things out as they go. Take advantage of campus resources, attend events, talk to your professors, and be open to meeting new people. Finding a routine and community can make a huge difference in your college experience.

Favorite class

Always my spanish courses because i love to talk to people and be able to share my life stories with others!

Career goals

After college, I hope to become a social worker focused on child and family services. Having firsthand experience with the system has given me a passion for supporting children and families through difficult times.

Ideal way to spend a free night

My ideal free night is spending time with family or friends, relaxing at home, or going out for a good meal and a fun activity.
