This spring I had plans to visit the Dominican Republic, as part of an Alternative Spring Break trip in Las Canas. Because of the pandemic, I chose instead to volunteer locally with opioid users. Being part of a strong community is very important to me, and being a valuable member is even more important. As an EMT, I’ve seen how opioids affect a diverse population in our community and look forward to seeing how I can assist with their recovery.
Thank you for giving me one less thing to worry about as I work toward my goal of serving my community through medicine.

Financially, this past year has been difficult for me and my family. My mom, a single mother, lost her position as a production manager when her company decided to put a hold on production until the pandemic ends. Due to my mother’s financial situation, my sister and I struggled with loan approval for college. By maintaining my work-study position and receiving a generous scholarship, I am able to continue receiving the wonderful education that Northeastern University provides.

I am someone who loves learning, meeting people, and exploring new cultures. My experience at Northeastern has been better than what I could have imagined. Since last year, however, my parents have fallen into a complicated personal and financial situation. I went on co-op in January, which was not my original plan, to save money to support myself financially.

I did not know whether I was going to be able to return to Northeastern and finish my education, but then I received my award letter for a scholarship. I have been thankful every day for every single dollar that I have received, as it means I am able to keep being a part of this amazing community – both on and off campus. Thank you for the incredible support you’ve provided to me. It has been a deciding factor in my academic career.
