Hello! I'm a recent graduate from The University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Communication Studies and Media Studies. After a long struggle of determining what I wanted to major in, I finally decided to go with my heart, and follow my passions. I love helping others, and I am fearless in the pursuit of my goals. My tenacity will help others I cross paths with to meet their goals as well. I'm the perfect candidate; I am a hard worker who is willing to persevere through any obstacle to reach my goals. For example, volleyball which is a great passion of mine. My junior year of high school, I was cut from the team. With my "failure" in my mind and heart, I worked hard to become my school's student body president as well as making the varsity team my senior year. Proving that if I put my mind to something, I am able to achieve anything. Additionally, I was diagnosed with a rare congenital heart disease at the age of 9, which limits me from doing certain things in my everyday life. However, I have taken this challenge to strengthen my relationship with myself and others and have been able to do things I never thought possible. With all this being said, I am extremely grateful for any opportunities which come my way. Coming from a family of two educators, I have quickly learned that teacher have one the most hard yet underpaid professions. Which can make paying for college extremely difficult. I am hopeful to receive any scholarships and/ or nominations for being "bold", there is nothing more powerful than a strong, educated, Latina woman.
