Hello, I am Alma. Born in Mexico and raised in Wisconsin. Wild but true! I am a combat veteran, soon to be a military retiree working for a non-profit hospital. My goal to finish my undergraduate degree will soon be realized with only a few more classes left. I am very excited to become the first in my family to graduate college, though being in the Army has not made it easy at all. From fighting to get a little extra time to write an essay because I am on 24-hour duty as a Paramedic to having spotty wifi in very foreign countries and being unable to log in to my college's website... The failures and successes have made me who I am and I would not want it any other way.
