worth having comes easy. With financial scholarships from Reinhardt covering 60% of her tuition, Dulce’s parents pay the remainder, once again sacrificing them-selves to give their child a better life. Her daily commute to campus from her home in Norcross is an hour long, but she says joyously, “Everything happens for a reason—there is a reason God wants me to do this.”
Despite the many hurdles put in front of her, Dulce has managed to thrive at Reinhardt and will be graduating in the fall with a Communication degree.
Anyone who has met Dulce Galindo knows the joy she radiates and the kindness she shares with everyone who crosses her path.
Ally Hurd, a fellow classmate, describes her as “sweet, just like her name—genuine, smart, and hard working.” Dulce always makes sure to help anyone who needs it.
Classmate Grant Sufferling tells the story about how Dulce once stayed all night in the library to help him study for a final. He says, “I ended up getting a 96! She’s a good friend to have around.”
When asked what she wishes people would know about Latinos, Dulce answered, “I want people to understand immigration, and I want to break stereotypes of Latina women. Latina women are out there breaking barriers every day. We are strong, smart, and powerful!”
Reinhardt is incredibly lucky to have a dedicated, hard-working student like Dulced Galindo, who brings a new cultural per-spective to Reinhardt by sharing her experiences. Dulce signifies what every hard-working immigrant family wants in their daughter, someone willing to work as hard as they did to achieve the “American Dream” and everything it has to offer, including education.
