[quote=Anonymous]Latina here! Grew up with poor immigrant parents, no English. Mom only reached a middle school education always insisted that our studies came first. Both parents saw education as a way to a better life, and low grades were not acceptable. Looking back, i know we were really lucky. Our parents were loving, prioritized education, gave us a stable environment and freedom to thrive, also they insisted we speak Spanish at home, which means we are all perfectly bilingual. Finally, as a NYC kid I had great role-models (representation matters!) and tons of opportunities to attend camps, scholarships and internship opportunities for free. This put us on a path to successful college careers and now professional careers. [/quote]
