Going to college and being in a university setting was the first time my perspectives and ideas were broadened. I was able to see the world outside my small suburb, and learned harsh realities, which I was sheltered from my whole life. Social justice advocate, Bryan Stevenson, expounds the idea of getting proximate to issues that one cares about. For me, getting proximate was accomplished by being on a university campus, and learning from the ideas of others, as well as new, first-hand experiences. As I was supported and encouraged in my growth at Loyola, I want to provide the same assistance for other students.

Higher education would offer me a unique opportunity where I would be able to support students in their growth as a person, while offering encouragement and assistance to students throughout their college

My favorite academic subject is American History. It wasn’t until this year, while taking AP United States History, that I discovered my passion for the subject. I will never forget the day I realized that history was my passion. I was sitting in my history class listening to my teacher lecture, for the second hour and I realized I had a giant smile on my face. I was intrigued with every detail of the history we were learning. My mind was spinning and I found myself absorbed in thought as I took in every detail.

My choice to attend FIU was one of the easier ones I’ve made so far in my academic career. I was drawn to the university as I felt a sense of community here that has only been further enhanced as a legacy, with both my mother and stepfather having completed their Bachelor degrees at this institution. The relationships and connections my parents were able to build here were a testament to FIU’s ability to bring together people from so many different backgrounds and create a family. I experienced an even greater connection as my stepfather found a lifelong friendship and mentor in an FIU staff member and honored him by making him the godfather of one of my younger brothers. Thus, FIU has been a special part of my life even before college was

I would first like to start by saying that creatine is the only dietary supplements that I recommend for all bodybuilders. Protein supplements and weight gainer in all the glory, but they fulfill a function as normal food can easily meet anyway. Creatine however, plays on a completely different level to the extent that you can only realize its full potential with supplements and is considering the outcome and the incredibly cheap price tag is almost stupid if you do not use it.

Growing up my family had little to no money. My parents, immigrants from El Salvador, worked two jobs each. Home was a small space with a conjoined kitchen and living room. When Mom and Dad first arrived to America, they never imagined a child of theirs would become a university student. Coming to America itself was in their wildest dreams. To them, an education of that level was unattainable. Now, I represent my family wherever I go. I am at TWU for my family and for my dreams. One day, I will be the Nurse Practitioner I always envisioned. But more importantly, I will give my parents and my grandmother everything they never had. Now that I am older I comprehend the magnitude of their sacrifices. When I hear the name Texas Woman’s University,

Being a teenager there are but so many things I can do and I struggled to understand the fact that I cannot do everything-- not yet. I sought inspiration to handle my cognitive dissonance from the Rev.

I hope to serve as yet another representation of excellence and walk in the footsteps of many great leaders before me in the path to

For my twelve service hours, I decided to dedicate my time to one organization. That organization is known as College Mentors for Kids.
