I am happy to be attending Arizona Western College, where I am pursuing my associate’s degree in Arts and Paralegal Studies, not only to further my education but also to develop valuable knowledge and skills. Not only do I go to school, but I also work part-time as a barista at Starbucks. The greatest achievement I did not regret in my life is passing my GED at AWC. After I received my GED diploma, I decided to attend college, which is a challenging choice due to the financial burden. I am a great candidate because education is my passion. I lived in a Chinese orphanage, and I did not have a chance to continue to learn in school at a young age. My adopted American mom brought me to the United States at 11 and sent me to learn in school.
