-: Pomona was just the best little snow globe for me
to grow as a learner and thinker,
and I, again coming back to relationships,
the friendships that I made here are my lifelong friends.
I have one or two friends from high school,
but my closest friends went to Pomona,
and are all in different fields
and different parts, places of the country,
but relying on them and being supportive when they need me
is just something that I carry with me
as an like emotional support system,
whether it's in my career,
or in my personal life as a mom or a wife,
all those things are supported
by the friendships that I made here.
