So I work in the advertising industry
usually a 40-plus hour week. And then plus
I'm taking 16 units. Primarily the
courses that I take is in the evening so
I get to work a full day's worth of work
while getting a great degree.
Being the first person in my family to graduate is
a huge responsibility.
A lot is on my shoulders but I also feel
like it's paving the way, a lot of people
specifically from certain minority
backgrounds may not be exposed to finance.
For me longer term, with the money
that I'm making potentially on Wall Street
I definitely want to be able to give back and
actually help people who are like me and
in my position who need a step in the
right direction to see that there is an
opportunity to go to college and you can
step up and get great grades at a
community college and transfer over to a
university like this and then with the
scholarship being able to actually
afford it.
