Today was one of those unforgettable moments in my journey. I had the honor of meeting with the PRESIDENT of AMERICAN UNIVERSITY, my future school, and it meant so much to be able to introduce him to my family.
We talked about my journey so far: serving as president of my high school, organizing as an activist in Los Angeles, and standing up against an administration that continues to harm and dehumanize our communities. I also shared that I’m not coming in unprepared, I already have an agenda for my freshman year, and I’m ready to get to work.
He was incredibly kind and encouraging, congratulating me and expressing how grateful they are that I chose their university. He also said he doesn’t meet with every student coming to his school but I was one he really wanted to meet. That meant more than I can put into words.
But the most powerful part of today? Seeing the pride in my parents’ eyes. That feeling is priceless. And of course, my two brothers, my forever cheerleaders, were right there with me.
It was a successful day, and this is just the beginning. I’m ready. 💫
