The financial aid I received made it possible for me to transfer here. After graduation, I want to be a teacher and a mentor for young first-generation students.

The courses were flexible, the professors helped us improve and we were allowed to integrate our ideas into classroom work. All of that gave me guidance to pursue the career I wanted.
