Personality profile search
From the Roundup News, I found a lot of interesting profiles about many students on campus but this student wanted to go to school to make a change for herself. This profile stood out to me the most because this student has worked her whole life with her dad and trying to go to school at the same time. While Emily helped with a lot with the family bills she made a turning point to go to school full time to better her education. The lead drew me in especially in the last sentence that there was a bigger issue she wanted to change. The focus was on Emily Andrade and her life working for her dad while struggling with school. The biggest news from this story is that she will be the commencement speaker for the next incoming graduating class. She not only had to help pay for her family's bills but went to college. Her parents were undocumented immigrants that made a huge impact on her life. My favorite quote from Emily, “I just want to have the ability to meet someone that came from the same or similar background, disadvantaged students and let them know they are not alone in their struggle.” She expresses that she wants to become a professor to help students who had the same background as her. I love how inspirational this story is, and how Emily too that step to help change her life.
