While I just graduated from Community College locally. I visited UMass-Boston as a 20-year-old and fell in love. I cried tears of joy when I got into their Psychology program. The thought that in a few more years something I dreamed of will fully be mine fills me with more pride than I can put into words. I have gone through many challenges throughout these past years including -death, health issues, family problems, mental health issues, and a global pandemic. I think this shows my integrity to complete tasks and my love for learning. I believe others have cracked under this same pressure, I have had my whole college experience and I am proud of myself for challenging it and adapting and growing with it. I look forward to my next 2 years in Boston, Massachusetts.
