Admitted Spartans day, I was able to speak to the Latinx community about my experience here at UNCG so far as a first year. Helped with the student panel. Great opportunity.
Helped Marisa in the OIE office with tasks like creating goody bags for the OIE End of Semester event and creating agendas for events that are coming up.
UNCG MUN Event
It was an amazing opportunity to work with bilingual students and learn about water scarcity.
Preparing goodie bags for students at the MUN Event
UNCG Student Training for 3/28
It was training for the Module United Nations event talking about the agenda and what the actual project was about.
I had the opportunity to speak in front of an ESL academy and give them a tour in Spanish. It was an amazing experience because I was able to share a lot of valuable and helpful information with these students in order to encourage them to continue their education once they graduate high school. A lot of these students are Hispanic therefore I saw myself in them and I know a lot of them see themselves in me. So it was nice knowing that I was able to give them a spark of inspiration and Si Se Puede!
I attended a student panel at UNCG where Latinx high schoolers from Randolph County came and asked us questions about the process of applying to college, what college is like, and what are the different things you can do to get involved on campus. I really enjoyed doing this student panel because a lot of these kids are first-generation like myself and It was nice knowing that I was able to give them advice and tips about applying because I had no one giving me advice when I was in the process of applying to colleges. I saw myself in them and It is nice giving back to the community, I also hope that they feel that sense of belonging that I definitely needed when I was in high school and figuring out if I wanted to go to college.
