One of the most fundamental qualities of a person is to be able to lend a helping hand in time to those who need it, to stop in the midst of an endless run and show your kindness. An equally important quality is to be able to accept help with gratitude. I want to say my heartfelt thanks to my husband who completely changed my life 10 years ago and supported me all this time. Thank you for your support, attentiveness, assistance and sensitivity! Love, Maria.

I'm very happy to say I'm halfway there to a BA! The road of a degree is a challenging one, but I wouldn't have it any other way. The many nights when I wanted to quit or felt too tired, my family pushed me to keep going. The opportunity to attend college is the one I cherish the most. My parents did not get to graduate college because they had me instead, and for that, I am grateful they loved and supported me for every decision up to this point. I only hope that I can continue to make my parents, siblings, and loved ones proud. Mom, Dad, Grandpa Manuel, this is for you.
