"High school wasn’t a good experience for me so I knew when I graduated, I wanted something different. The biggest thing I had to overcome while at Emory was the idea of fitting in. In my hometown, everyone had the same idea about everything. Here, I finally found friends who allowed me to be who I wanted to be and not who other people wanted me to be. I came to love who I am as a person rather than living for other people."

"I’m a first-generation college student. Since my dad hadn’t gone to college, he wanted me and my siblings to have the best experience at college. I grew up in a hardworking family. Coming to college, I had to navigate this whole prestigious university thing on my own. We had gone from seeing some schools that didn’t have huge campuses or the variety of majors or resources Emory has. I remember my dad turning to me and saying that I deserve to learn at a place where I am afforded all of those luxuries. It’s something I’m really proud of because I’ve been able to flourish here without necessarily having a roadmap to do so. At the end of the day college is a privilege."
