To me, striving for excellence started at a very young age. From a very young age, my parents told me that
I was not born here. I was undocumented and now I am a documented student.
I am very proud of where I've come from, but from a very young age, I had to strive for that 'A'. Strive for
setting myself apart from other students. I had to make sure that if it ever came down
to comparing me to another student, I had to shoot for the highest spot possible. I
needed to be there, because I needed to show that I deserved to be here. And now luckily
I am able to be here and I am very happy. I do my best to get for the 'A', although
that may not happen at all times. Sometimes it doesn't turn out how I plan it, but always
shooting for that 'A' helps me get to the very best that I can.
