How has financial aid impacted your college experience?
It has allowed me to attend a school that I love and has helped to not only prepare me for my field in the working world, but to also build my character and how I see the world around me, which is something I was not getting at my previous school.

What will a college degree mean to you?
It will mean that I have succeeded in showing that dedication pays off! I will be the first in my family to earn a bachelor’s degree, and I take pride in setting an example for my siblings. It will mean that I have overcome my obstacles and achieved my goal of earning a degree.

Have you learned something during college you didn’t expect?
Yes, I have. I’ve learned a new way of thinking and a new way of interpreting the world I live in.

What are your plans after graduation?
I plan to seek a career in Graphic Design/Web Design.
