Where do I even start? This is such a bittersweet moment.

I am a first-generation college student and the first in my family to attend a Historically Black College or University.

My journey didn’t start off perfectly. I was confused, unsure of myself, and overwhelmed. But somewhere along the way, I found my peace and fell in love with public health. I’m one step closer to my goal of being a clinical research health professional.

I want to thank all my friends and family who have stood by me throughout this journey, encouraged me, and reminded me that I could do it even when I doubted myself. And to those who thought I wouldn’t make it, look at me now. Sometimes, it’s best to let your accomplishments speak for themselves.

Younger me always thought I had to be perfect. But I’ve learned that not everything will go your way, plans will change, and life will test you. Still, the storm never lasts forever.

A little advice to anyone still figuring things out: The sky is the limit. Don’t limit yourself just because you lack confidence or feel like you’re not ready. You’ll never know what you’re capable of until you try. It’s okay to take risks, make mistakes, learn along the way, and grow. Remember, everyone has their own path and their own timeline. Don’t compare your journey to someone else’s. Trust yourself enough to see where life can take you.

Through every high and low, every doubt, and every obstacle, WE MADE IT. WE DID IT!
