On December 16 , 2022 , I proudly graduated Cum Laude , B . S . in Human Development and Family Studies with a minor in EC Education - 6th Grade Specialist , from The University of Houston , becoming the first in my family to achieve this milestone . As the eldest among my siblings and paternal grandchildren , I aspire to inspire them to chase their dreams relentlessly . This achievement , seemingly modest to some , holds immense significance for a family like mine . Let ' s never belittle our minor triumphs ; instead , let ' s announce them to the world . Currently , I ' ve secured my state teaching certifications and am eager to impart knowledge in an elementary classroom starting this fall .
I encourage everyone to continue shooting for the moon because even if you miss you ’ ll land among the stars .
