Spanish: 
Mi nombre es Stephanie Rojas y soy estudiante universitaria de primera generación.
Voy a asistir a Oklahoma City University.
Desde pequeña, Oklahoma City University era parte de mi vida.
Cuando tenía nueve años, fui al centro de danza en el campus.
Y a mí me gustó mucho el ambiente.
En mi primer año de secundario, vi que
se lanzó el programa de médico asociado
y el campus estaba muy cerca.
Estoy emocionada, sí.
Sabes, muchos de mis compañeros de clase se gradúan, van a las
universidades y es cosa normal.
Pero en casa sí, es algo muy emocionante, especialmente para mis padres y toda mi familia.
Aún para mis primos que ya no asistieron a la universidad.

English: 
My name is Stephanie Rojas and I'm a first generation student
and I will be attending Oklahoma City University.
Oklahoma City University has really been in my life since I was about nine.
When I was nine years old I went to the dance center.
And I really saw the environment and I liked that for one.
And when I was a freshman in high school, I saw that they had just
came out with the PA program
and it happened to be pretty close to home.
Oh it feels like a big deal. It really does.
You know I go to school and a lot of kids are graduating and they
don't see it as a big deal.
But then I come home and it's a really big deal definitely for my parents and for my family members.
Even some of my cousins that still haven't gone to college.

English: 
Coming over here my mom,
she was telling me last night she said
"I think you moving out is kind of like me when I was coming to a different country."
"You know it's like, you're excited but you also don't know what to expect."
Because it's so new to us.
Welcome to OCU
LEVI HARREL: What's your last name?
Stephanie: Rojas
Oh yeah Stephanie of course! Welcome, I'm Levi I'm also the PLC advisor.
It's good to see you.
As a reminder you have orientation today at 4:30 in the Great Hall.
Sounds good
Levi: We'll see you then
Stephanie: A big part of going to Oklahoma City University is
the Clara Luper Scholarship
I have been very blessed to have been
given this opportunity.
Because, not only has it helped me but of course it's
going to take a huge toll off my family
to be able to say that they don't have to worry about paying for school

Spanish: 
Anoche, mi mamá me dijo que
mudarme al campus
es como cuando ella inmigró a otro país. 
Sabes, estás emocionada pero no sabes qué deberías anticipar.
Porque es algo tan nuevo para nosotros.
Bienvenidos a OCU.
LEVI HARREL: ¿Cuál es tu apellido?
STEPHANIE: Rojas
Ay, ¡claro! ¡Stephanie! Bienvenidos. Mi nombre es Levi y soy el consejero de PLC.
Placer.
Recuérdate que hoy tienes orientación a las 4:30 en el salón.
Vale.
LEVI: Nos vemos.
STEPHANIE: Algo crucial de asistir a Oklahoma City University es
la beca Clara Luper.
Estoy muy afortunada por
recibir esta oportunidad.
Porque no solo me ayudó a mí sino también a mi familia.
Mis padres no tienen que
preocuparse por pagar mi matrícula

Spanish: 
pero a la vez puedo asistir a la universidad 
y tener esa experiencia de vivir en campus.
¡Vamos!
¿Acá? Sí.

English: 
and yet I'm getting this advantage of being able to attend school and
live on campus and be able to get that different experience.
Here we go!
This side of the room? Yeah.

Spanish: 
Una educación universitaria siempre parecía tan inaccesible.
Así me alegre de que yo vaya a recibir esa educación superior
y entonces puedo volver a casa y
ver lo que hace esa educación para
nuestra familia y nuestra comunidad.
Antes, mi mamá me dijo que
lo triste no es que estoy me mudando unas millas de distancia.
Es el hecho que ya no voy a estar en casa.
Así, va a ser un cambio grande para mí
y mi familia.

English: 
Stephanie: College is a thing that seemed so out of reach
and so to get to experience that higher education level
and be able to come back home and like,
be able to see what education really does to
our family, to our community.
My mom was saying earlier that
it's not that I'm moving away a couple miles...
it's the fact that I'm not going to be here anymore
so it's definitely going to be a big change not only for me
but it's also going to be for her and for the rest of my family members.
