 graduating it's fantastic feeling I can't even describe it finally done four years just done wow this is a dream coming from Peru and Peru they don't allow women really to become anthropologists so that dream had been in my heart all my life a lot more people were kind of like oh my gosh it's over whereas I kind of feel like just turning the next page ready for the next adventure I was the last person on stage so it was just kind of nice to be the last person and just end it all my grandma made a lot of this and my partner made a couple days and so it's a really big deal for us the greatest part of going to Cal and getting world-renowned internationally recognized education I think it's kind of the tight-knit community where you can really find your niche come all the way here and to receive open arms it was it said I live a miracle this is a miracle it was challenging I think that's something I really appreciated about it that it really pushed me to my limits as to who I thought I was to become more than what I thought I could become I'm an international student from Hong Kong and then I'm a transfer so I don't know much many student year so I have to work very hard to be assimilate into this culture to learn about it and then to be graduating it was just so many good memories I can never give up this campus and always be a cow-bear forever the game-changing moment for me was going on an outreach trip to high school and so working with other youth and getting like trying to get them into college was really like the thing for me and it was really the thing that started to get me into education and so anthropology was all about understanding where they come from and helping them to get into school based on like what they need and understanding their situations I went to a class and the professor started speaking something that really this is what I was looking for she's teaching really what I wanted that was the moment I say this meant that I mean to be here sophomore year I joined the club on campus called theater ice it was a performance group an Asian American performance group on campus and being being Latino immersing myself entirely in a different culture in a different group it taught me how to be a better leader better speaker have a I like to think slightly more charismatic self I like how the professor teaches is the way is special they guide us to think critically which is I couldn't find it in Hong Kong and then there is no right or wrong answer I've definitely brought in my horizons both academically personally professionally spiritually I thought I could be anything to begin with and then coming to Berkeley dealing with all these people I just realized that I can be more I can help people I want to work in education as an administrator I want to make sure that it's more accessible for students of all backgrounds and especially people who are underrepresented on campus and just making sure that they can be able to come to college and have those resources I want to volunteer in some developing countries maybe first starting from China which is near to Hong Kong and then maybe go around the world that's my dream I want to be a teacher I want to help change the community especially low-income ones I come from one very low-income community I want to help influence the next generations I plan to head off to law school I start this fall hopefully to go into energy policy work or environmental law as inspired through my coursework here at Cal it's a good day where my dream comes come through
