Q1) What motivates you to continue and excel at SCC in spite of circumstances you may face?
A1) My motivation to continue and excel at SCC in spite of circumstances that I may face are my children and family. I strive to be the best mother,wife, daughter, student, and citizen. I am motivated by all the hate and despair in this cruel world to be better and make every person I come into contact with at least smile because change begins with a single step in the right direction. I want a better life for my family and children than I had and overcome any challenges I may encounter. 
Q2) What advice would you give to future students who might face similar situations?
A2) My advice for future students is to believe in yourself and nothing comes easy. All good things take hard work and dedication and there is a light at the end of the dark tunnel of education as well as life.
