My goal in life is to be a school psychologist. So I want to finish up my eight years of my educational journey and be successful and give my family something to be proud of me about.

What motivates me is overcoming my daily struggles. Having a learning disability and suffering from depression and anxiety motivate me to do better everyday. I do not want to use my struggles as a crutch.

What I consider my greatest accomplishment is just being in college period because a lot of my family has been in college but dropped out. So I think that me being in school and trying to finish out strong will be a great accomplishment.
