>> I came to Pomona because I wanted a liberal arts college
with good weather, and there aren't that many.
I came from New York, so calling my family when studying for finals by the pool was fun.
And then after college, I actually joined the Peace Corps, and I stayed two weeks
because I wasn't ready, and I ended up back my parents in New York and got a job in the city,
and then was working for two and a half years when I was like, "I need to do something else."
And so that's when I got into social work.
And I applied to school and I went to Hunter College School of Social Work, and now I'm here.
