Whether it was physical or emotional pain people were experiencing, I knew I had developed a knack for helping people.

However, Howard University is one of the best Universities that have the dual degree programs.

    Going to Haiti last summer was something I didn’t really expect. The summer prior, I had worked at Tall Timbers, a summer camp, and fell in love; it was the best summer of my life. After working there, I was dead set on working there for every summer as long as I could. But even shortly after moving out and going home at the end of that summer, I remember lying in bed one night and having the thought, what if I had to give this up? What if I never get to work at Tall Timbers again?…

    Driven by the Salvadorian civil war and dire economic conditions in Mexico, Pedro and Juana both left their respective countries at a young age in search of a better future in the United States. Growing up with parents who were immigrants completely shaped the person I would become, and it was not long before I realized that I was different from all the other kids in my kindergarten class.

Although, that’s a part of living through God’s words and responding through faith. I have realized that God plants good and bad things in our lives for a reason. I believe that viewing our lives and everything else in light of the gospel, we will commit to living ever-mindful of the love of God.…

    When reading and studying the Upanishads I recognized the shifting influence that the principles of the text has had upon me through my experience of time. Specifically in the Katha Upanishad, Natchiketa’s interactions gave me insight into my own with Yama, Lord of death. I can recall standing at my Cha Cha Nancy’s home where my great-grandmother rested quietly.

This transition of life I could not comprehend, and the pain that it brought to those I loved was engraved into my thought processes.…

I see that the purpose of having a vocation is to be happy, to expand the way you see people and the world.…
