I become an alumna of UMass Lowell today. I am so proud of this university and how quickly it is becoming such a top notch higher education facility. I am forever grateful for the opportunities it has provided me and how its community has helped me develop leadership skills and grow into what I believe to be a strong woman. It also led me to have a passion for service and to my very best friend. I am proud of what I have already accomplished, and I am excited for what my future holds.

7. I am going to be a middle school math teacher for Boston Public Schools in the fall through Teach for America.
8. There is nothing that turns me off from a person more than not being able to take responsibility for his or her actions.
9. I procrastinate everything.
10. I have finally learned to be proud of myself, and I know my self worth, and that has been the most freeing transformation of my life.
I graduate tomorrow morning.
