“The barriers that I encountered during college was time management because I had two jobs and I did not have enough time to do my homework.
10,000 Degrees helped me with financial aid, so I could be focused on my classes. I was not extra stressed as I used to be before my involvement with 10,000 Degrees.
I believe that I inspired my friends to come to college because they see how successful I am at college, and I could achieve my goals even though English is not my first language.
I seek to eradicate poverty and create economic opportunities for all individuals to thrive and prosper.
I am ONE Degree of Change because I believe in the power of small actions to create lasting impact.
Thank you for all your support, not just for me but for all students like me. The scholarship has helped me not be so stressed about finances.”
