Affinity Words/ At-Promise Factors
I had so many doubts and questions in mind when I started taking lower-division courses at West 十分六合彩 and Mission College. My dream was made with numerous obstacles and one passion. However, I was fortunate to meet with good counselors and teachers. Their inspiration and support helped me to overcome the challenges and to hold on to my academic goal. I was an immigrant, first-generation, adult re-entry, and ESL student.
