A lesson of resilience from a 2020 High School Graduate!

 𝘚𝘩𝘦 found her voice, she found power and strength in her journey.  She is no longer afraid to share her story. 
A story of adversity including belonging to a first-generation Mexican immigrant family, as well as dealing with traumatic family experiences.  In her young age she became the sustaining rock of her family.  Her story of resilience will help other teens overcome adversity, and reach their potential.
 
Her desire to achieve 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘧𝘶𝘭.  𝘐 𝘢𝘮 honored to call her my friend and so proud of her accomplishments.  She is Carson High School's 2020 𝐂𝐓𝐄 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫, and she will become an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) in less than a year from graduating high school.  She will continue her studies and will become a bilingual trauma nurse.  As a high school student, she was selected to participate in the following hands-on learning programs: The University of Nevada Reno (UNR) Community of Bilingual English-Spanish Speakers (CBESS) exploring issues in science and health, the Perry Initiative, building the pipeline for women in engineering and medicine, and at Click Bond, where she shadowed engineers and learned how engineering intersects with orthopedic surgery. 
 
She will succeed because she also understands the value of working while going to school.  Balancing work with school is an invaluable skill.  An experience that provides hands-on learning and helps connect theory to practice.  
 
She is doing it against all odds.  𝘚𝘩𝘦 inspires me in so many ways!  Her story is worth noting, it is inspiring. She is fierce, free, and full of Fire! ​
