Things I Have Admired or Appreciated about Other Professionals I’ve Encountered

# data[].attributes.body
Although I cannot say I have worked with individuals in my field, I have interacted with people in a college setting who thoroughly enjoy their career choice. For example, I had a professor who was a Child Life Specialist, and their dedication and resilience in providing clients with the proper resources and information they need was admirable. I have always had a deep interest in helping those around me, especially considering the challenges of modern times and adolescent development. I believe that now, more than ever, individuals in this particular major are needed.

I envision providing adolescents with key information and advice that will help them navigate their situations. I also hope to educate and inform parents of all ages about what to expect during their child's development. While I am unsure whether I will travel or work in a fixed location, I am open to either option.

I am an American Latina, born in the diverse area of Los Angeles. As a first-generation graduate from a low socio-economic background, I have faced many challenges. Despite being born into humble beginnings, I have developed a strong sense of resilience and a deep desire to help those in need. While my story may not be as unique as those of the greats, the emotions and raw hardships I have endured allow me to connect with others in my community. My passion for helping the younger generation was inspired by my mother, who worked as a staff member in various schools. Witnessing her dedication and hard work, I committed myself to follow a similar path.
