Episode Summary

Celebrating all first-gens this week, I thought it was the perfect time to share my personal story of how I was able to become the first in the family to go to College. As an undocumented student, the most relatable story we all share is that we are told we CANNOT go to college due to our legal status her in the US. In this episode, I share how I was able to prove people wrong and pave my way to attain a Bachelor's Degree from The University of Texas at El Paso with a full-ride scholarship. Listen to this episode to learn how you can also apply and be selected for this opportunity, TheDream.US is currently taking applications!
