From a young age I have been self motivated to push myself and get out of my comfort zone. If I attend and graduate college, It would make me the first in my family to get a college degree. I…

The undergrad Social Work program and Iowa taught me that social work is more than just helping people. Here, I learned how to be more culturally competent, work to empower oppressed…

"Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail."- Ralph Waldo Emerson. Failure is inexorable. However, failure is a time to build upon the groundwork that you have laid in order to succeed. A time when I was unsuccessful was the beginning of my U12 ski season. A goal that I had set for myself was to qualify for the New England U12 Ski Championships, called the Piche, in my second year of ski racing. This was a lofty goal. Being on the smaller side, gravity…
