I want to thank my family for always supporting and encouraging me to never give up. They are the ones who pushed me to work hard and chase my dreams. My oldest brother, especially, helped me academically and even gave me advice whenever I felt lost in life. And my mom’s hard work, bravery and determination gave us the chance to have a new and better life in this country. I’m so grateful to have spent all these years at UNM and I’m lucky to have met so many amazing people. Let’s all work hard towards our future. Go Lobos!
