As a child of immigrant parents, whom never passed secondary education, I had been told several times by my mother, “I came here so you can have the opportunities I never had.” I never took her words in for consideration.

I am now more mentally stable and ready for all the challenges that UNLV throws at me. My family has never had a college graduate and I anticipate to be the first one to do so.
