My parents always told us coming into
this country,
they're like we're here for you guys
like we're here for you guys to
have a better life, a better education
and they kind of told us, they're like
'You're going to go to college for a better life.'
When I came to campus I was
like really scared.
You know you feel like you're so unknowledgeable.
You feel like everybody's like a step ahead
because like, their parents went to
college.
It was a big transition because
you don't know anybody, you don't know anything.
But I knew that like I had to
take this step forward, you know.
I just started getting like more and more involved
and meeting more and more people.
it's just like, the more I spoke to people
the more like they want to help me.
My love for student senate has grown so much to
open a door to law school,
open a door to the future.
I want to do great things.
I mean Northwest has made me great,
 so why am I not going to use that?
Every single day I wake up and I'm like I'm so 
grateful to be like right here, right now.
I'm so grateful that I had this
opportunity to be here.
I just know the person that I came in as
was not the person I am today.
