-: The number one way that the U of M
helped me get to where I am today
was being very, very, very supportive.
I was supported all through undergrad.
I had an amazing advisor that, like,
helped me and pushed me.
And like, believed in me and believed in my abilities.
And then after
going into the graduate program,
because of all of my experience,
they rewarded me of being the social justice educator.
So they really believed in me because
not only was I just, oh, I was wanna be a teacher,
I'm just only gonna think about teaching,
but I'm going to see how I can make Minneapolis better.
I'm gonna be a mentor to these high school students
that need a mentor.
So I feel like the support was really that
pushed me in to become an educator.
