“I was born in China and immigrated to the U.S. when I was ten. I am a first-generation college student; this experience instilled in me a deep appreciation for the opportunities that education provides. As I navigated the challenges of adapting to a new culture and language, I found solace in the world of academics, particularly in the realms of mathematics and science.

My parents were not involved in my childhood; when I arrived in the U.S. to pursue a better education, I lived at my uncle’s house for three years. Criticisms from others on how I spoke and stumbled over words weren’t new to me, but they definitely weren’t easy to handle. Oftentimes, my fear of judgment led me to stay silent instead of putting myself out there. It was difficult for me to learn in school.

For the first 13 years of my life, I adapted to loneliness, thinking that the world had abandoned me. However, living by myself for the longest time built up my independence. I taught myself English and character development. I forged my own path and decided to live by the motif: ‘If I only get to live once, why am I afraid to explore?’ I would rather grow than to live with only what I was given. I’m not afraid to go after what I want, because what is there for me to lose?

I used the internet to self-study and improve my English skills. I would look up grammar rules and word pronunciations, practicing them in front of a mirror to say them correctly. I took the skills I learned to master English and applied them to other academic challenges, like learning how to code in Java. From these challenges, I learned that whether it was English, coding, math, or any other subject, taking small steps at a time will allow me to overcome any difficulties I face.

We have been given the precious gift of education, and it is now up to us to make it into a tool for positive change. Let us chase our dreams with the same courage and zest for life that defines the Triton spirit. For in the end, it is not the destination that matters most, but the journey itself.”

-Jiayi Liang (she/her/hers), Applied Mathematics Major, Class of 2024
