“My biggest inspiration, motivation, and support system has always been my family. My father has always sacrificed his own needs to provide for me and has always pushed me to do my best, giving me anything I need to succeed in school. My aunt has always served as a role model, and I vividly remember watching her study as a child. She always told me that hard work pays off, and she was right.”
