First-Generation College Grads

CCNY was one of the schools that I knew I could do good. I had so much support because I was an immigrant, and it paid off. It was a little more intensive, but it was so focused on the areas of study. I got a lot of help along the way from my professors and my mentor. They constantly kept me on the right path, even though I was working full-time at the same time that I was doing my master's. It was very intensive work, but it was very rewarding to be able to complete the tasks and to graduate on time.
