Elizabeth Acosta Bachelor of Science in Psychology What is something that you are most proud of? One of the things I’m most proud of is graduating without any debt, paying completely out of pocket as I worked to earn my own money and pay for my own tuition. Future Plans & Goals In the future, I want to have my own practice and so that I can be my own boss and help as many people as I can. I also want to travel and take more risks, maybe move out of the country as well. Elizabeth's Words of Wisdom There were people who doubted me from the beginning, but I used that as motivation and pushed myself harder. Even if nobody believes in you, you have to be self-motivated, goal-oriented and disciplined. Believe in yourself. 8 5
