“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.”
