Hi, my name is Vanessa Lechuga, and on May 21st, I will be graduating from SCC and obtaining my associates of Arts degree.
In the fall of 2021, I will become a student at ASU and study for behavioral and social sciences.
It was because we were doing virtual learning at home and I was also doing remote work from home.
We also got this new dog and everything was just really piling on.
So when things got tough, I would reach out to my advisor and that's how higher education helped me.
If I had any advice to give to any new students or returning students, it would be: Stay committed. Stay consistent. When things get tough, remember your why.
