"As a first generation college student, I have been enjoying every second of this new chapter in my life as I start college. My parents did not have the opportunity to attend college, therefore I am lucky enough to be setting the example for my younger siblings and to have my parents supporting me every step of the way. As a DACA recipient, I am living in a time much different than ever before due to the uncertainty of what my future holds. I am lucky to still have the opportunity to continue working, and furthering my education, and I am taking advantage of this. I am currently working at Starbucks part-time, while going to school full-time at the University of Nevada, Reno. It was early in the semester when I realized I had a passion for something else and chose to change my major. I am now studying to be an Immigration Lawyer, in hopes of helping to make a change while still impacting the lives of many. I am looking forward to continue growing and learning as I see all my future has to offer!"
