 Welcome to Highline College, Washington State's most diverse community college and the first community college in King County. Located on a beautiful hillside just 20 minutes from downtown Seattle, Highline College is here to help you reach your dreams and find your place in the world. Aminata Dramay's family moved to the Seattle area from Gambia and she developed a love of learning from an early age. I'm the first person in my family and I'm talking about like my aunt's, my aunt's side, my their chip. Like I'm really the first one who's like gotten a college degree. I'm like taking a step further into what I want to do. Danny Nguyen has a similar background as his parents immigrated from Vietnam when he was a young boy. After high school, I was playing to transfer to a Ford University. But because of my family situations, my parents doesn't speak English and I'm kind of like the head of the house. Since every time there's a mail, I need to translate to my parents. Every time there's a doctor appointment, I need to take them there. I was thinking about my parents and I don't think they were ready for me to go to like a Ford University away from them. So I took the route Highline and I'm happy I did because it saved me a lot of money. And I like the feeling and the atmosphere that Highline gives. We celebrate diversity. We acknowledge it, but your background, your history, your experiences do matter when you're here. Personally, I love the idea of melting pot. I like when one plays have many different types of people and working in the international student program is probably the best way for me to do that because I get to meet new students every quarter. I cross paths with many people from many different paths of life, many different countries, many different stories. And I love to hear that. It's my mom. Whatever your academic and career goals are, Highline College is here to help you reach them. So the remainder of the lab? Our dedicated faculty is passionate about teaching and will take the time to get to know you and help you succeed in the classroom and beyond. Aminata completed her coursework and graduated with Associate Degree in Business. Walking across the stage, I see my parents straight ahead. And I see my dad and my sister flashing their cameras and everything. It's just that moment, everyone coming together and celebrating. I felt gratitude for the people who supported me and also felt accomplished. In my mind, I was like, yes, I finally got it. I got this. And the next question in my head would be, what's next? For Aminata, what's next? Turn out to be an acceptance letter from the Seattle University Alba School of Business. As I was walking to campus on my first year of Seattle U, it's that feeling like, wow, I'm really here. Like, I really am going for my bachelor's degree. Danny is continuing his work toward an Associate Degree in Architecture and along the way, he wants to be sure that his time at Highline College is well spent. I like to inspire people. It makes me happy to help other people. So I want to leave a legacy when I leave Highline, for someone to remember me. Highline has pushed me to do the things I want to do, to do the things I want to fight for, to say the things that are right and what's wrong. Highline is fantavelous and yes, fantavelous is a word, look it up. When you are ready to take your studies and your career to the next level, Highline College is here for you. You can do it.
