Coming from a destitute background, I am consistently going against adversity. Yet, despite the degrees of hardship I have been subjected to, perseverance has kept me on my feet. With determination I diligently worked throughout my high school career to seek higher education. And fortunately, my fortitude proved to be effective by obtaining a scholarship to pursue college education. The blessing of going to college taught me that higher education is not impossible, but possible, and that with persistence, it is certainly attainable.

At my university, I am aspiring to major in Molecular Biology, as well as seeking certificates in Global Health & Health Policy, Latin American Studies, and French Language & Culture, while cultivating a career in the medical field. Outside of the classroom, I relish being a part of Princeton Latinos y Amigos (PLA), engaging with photography, and playing video games (sometimes you need a break!).

Being a part of the College Crash Course has been an incredible journey to giving back to my community. I only hope that through this project, high-achieving students in disadvantaged settings could gain the same blessing I did of having a college education. I insist that everyone peruse the resources of this website, whether a student or a parent, to bear fruit for the future.
