Education History
To many, my current state and place in society is overlooked and often unacknowledged, and with good reason. On paper there is nothing eye-catching about my achievements, I graduated high school in Houston, I am a healthy woman (both physically and mentally), and by the end of the school year, I will have completed my basics at Blinn college. These ‘bland’ milestones, however, have significant importance to me personally. Every person’s tenure on this earth comes with challenges, and my time here has and will be no different.

So, while on paper a degree from a Houston high school is unremarkable to most, I had to adapt to unfortunate circumstances in order to attain this achievement.
My next step was to further my education. As the daughter of two immigrants who never stepped foot into a classroom of higher education, it was my goal to make the most out of the education that the United States had to offer. With my financial situation acting as a shackle, it became apparent that a junior college would be the first step in my journey to receiving a bachelors degree.
