This fall semester classmates became close friends, and an internship became a job. Adulthood crept in more than ever and with it came anxiety but also excitement. Although this semester was by far the most difficult, the light at the end of the tunnel for me was the three elective classes that stand in the way of me and my diploma. This semester I had the privilege to work with an amazing professor named Ester Shapiro on a project close to my heart. This project then allowed me and my classmates to start an initiative program called the Special Immigrant Awareness Initiative. The goal of our project was to help immigrant children become aware of their rights. With the main goal to showcase possible paths to citizenship some children are eligible for but they may not be aware of for many different factors. Our hard work and passion for this project granted us the opportunity to present our work at the undergraduate research conference held at UMASS Amherst.Words can not describe how ecstatic I am for the upcoming semester. Thanks to all the support from MVYouth, in May I will be the first in my entire family to obtain a higher education diploma. I am forever grateful for this opportunity. Thank you so much.
