As a first-generation college student, I am deeply motivated to pursue my academic and career goals with determination and passion. I am currently a freshman at Texas Tech University majoring in Marketing, and planning on minoring in Mathematics, both fields that excite me because of the potential to make a positive impact in the world, possibly as a Math teacher or a Marketing Manager. I am particularly driven to make my parents proud and prove that hard work and perseverance can overcome any obstacle. My goal in life is not only to graduate but to contribute positively to society and inspire other first-generation students and others in my family to pursue their dreams, and to use my education to achieve success and make a lasting impression in the world.
