The STRIVE Scholars program provided a space where I could utilize my cultural wealth and lived experiences as transformative tools that help me succeed as a first-generation graduate student. It’s programs like these that help you find your purpose in your career as an educator. Many students face adversities that hinder their opportunities for a post-secondary education, however, it only takes one educator to believe in them. I want to be that educator for students.
