I've taken some hard courses that, at the beginning, I would never have thought I could ever get past. It's awesome how dedicated the professors here are!

I remind myself of what my parents endured to get where they are today. They were able to achieve the American Dream, and they have taught me to go above and beyond!

The most important thing that I see at Northeastern is that everybody is helpful. Sometimes I don't understand or I can't talk perfectly but everybody is trying to listen and understand me. Also it's hard to stay far away from family, but here I can feel more comfortable because everyone says, "Hello, how are you?", "How's it going?", to each other. That is perfect!
