As an immigrant and first generation student, the challenges are great, but the support I have received has been greater. Through the Mary Cecile Chambers Scholarship, I was granted the opportunity to pursue a higher education in Sociology and Spanish. Thanks to those who, like Ms. Mary Cecile Chambers, continue to impact others with the legacy they left behind, individuals like myself are able to become educated with the hope to one day be able to impact our communities in a similar manner. As time goes on, my appreciation for this blessing simply increases and with Grace, I give thanks.
