“Pursuing a college degree during the pandemic presented significant challenges, especially with ADHD and the shift to online learning. However, with 10,000 Degrees’ financial assistance, I could buy books and other essentials.
The impact of me attending college has been instrumental for my family, because I was able to show my younger cousins that they can do whatever they want—and showed them the power of education in achieving their dreams.
I want to become a therapist and help low-income communities obtain affordable therapy.
I am ONE Degree of Change because I won’t give up until I can help my community and family.
As a first-generation student, I think that being able to show my younger siblings and cousins that anything is possible is incredibly powerful.”
