“10,000 Degrees has been with me on this journey since high school. They paired me with great mentors willing to guide me to succeed. 10,000 Degrees started as just a program, but now I see them more as a family willing to go above and beyond not only from an academic sense but also all around character development. Looking back now I was fortunate enough to have support from my fellow/mentor, which inspired me to give back by advocating as a Fellow. This is a new step in my academic journey and I am still learning and growing with help from my colleagues and the organization. Thank you all for the support as I venture on to the next chapter of my life.”
As a 10,000 Degrees Fellow, “I tell students, ‘I believe in you. And I know that there may be challenges, but you can do it! Keep striving forward.'”
