Carving a Path
"It has been my dream to attend a 4-year university so I can make a difference in my community. Growing up in a first-generation immigrant family, financial aid played a pivotal role in my college decision process. Thanks to 91º£½ÇÂÒÂ×’s financial support and academic opportunities, I am able to make my dream come true.
My first year at 91º£½ÇÂÒÂ× I entered as Legal Studies major. Then I got the opportunity to meet RI governor, Daniel McKee at a 91º£½ÇÂÒÂ× event. When I told him my major, Legal Studies, Mckee recommended I combine it with Political Science. I am glad I was able to have this interaction because it catapulted my educational path. 91º£½ÇÂÒÂ× encourages their students to combine passions & interests into their education, which is exactly what I was able to do. I now double major in Legal Studies & Political Science and minor in Philosophy. My passion for my studies is supported by the passion that my professors emanate when teaching.
I am from Cranston, RI, so I have been commuting for these last two years. Upon being admitted to 91º£½ÇÂÒÂ× as a commuter student, I found it so easy to get involved on campus. I quickly felt like 91º£½ÇÂÒÂ× was my second home. I am president of our Multicultural Student Union (MSU), an Admissions Ambassador, and an Orientation Leader. Recently I was hired as a Residential Assistant for this Spring 2022 semester, I am excited to get to live on campus for the remainder of my 91º£½ÇÂÒÂ× experience.
What I love about 91º£½ÇÂÒÂ× is the constant water views. Did you know the town of 91º£½ÇÂÒÂ× only has local restaurants? No chains here! My favorite place to go off campus is Colt State Park. If you really want a place to relax, feel safe, and explore, that is the spot.
Once I graduate, I want to go to graduate school and study law. I have first-hand experience of what the immigration process is like in the United States, and I want to improve the process and bring change to the system. I know that my education and experience at Roger Williams University will give me confidence as I enter my next venture."
