My Greatest Supporters

The SMC Community has been my greatest fall back support and family. I made the decision to return to College, applied through the Common Admissions App to several Colleges. Then, Saint Mary's sent a great looking mail. it was my acceptance letter! That started my SMC journey.

Favorite Saint Mary's Memory

Prayer time at the Marian Grotto in the forest park! Up the hill where that bright cross looks upon Moraga! The tree of life and swing all stress away! The Library! The Brothers' Residence and dinners with them! The walks at night despite Coyotes and Mountain lions at least the turkeys and squirrels were my guards! The SMC Community!

My Next Chapter

One day I want to be able to confidently say I am a Political Science and Public Health Scholar! I want to write books on race, poverty, wealth, nature conservation and the dignity of racial harmony. I want to write fiction thrillers to make into films, documentaries and movies. One day I shall contribute to a foundation dedicated to facilitating the real SMC diversity and inclusion activities.

Favorite Saint Mary's Memory

My favorite Saint Mary's memory is winning the wcc title during my sophomore year. The journey was an experience of a lifetime and through it I have befriended many great people.

My Next Chapter

Postgrad, I plan on living in the East Bay where I will continue working at a food distribution center. From there I plan on continuing to work in the realm of my passions. Someday, I may want to seek a degree in education to inspire young students like my Saint Mary's professors did to me.

My Greatest Supporters

I would like to acknowledge my mom, dad, sister, and brother as the people who gave me the most educational and moral support throughout my time at Saint Mary's. My family's support was just as important to my success as my own hard work, and because of that, I would like to thank them for all that they did when I struggled.

Favorite Saint Mary's Memory

My favorite memory at Saint Mary's has to be the time I first met my group of friends just because they became my close friends for the rest of my time at Saint Mary's.

My Next Chapter

My next steps are all related to making sure that I am the most prepared I can be for the career I want to pursue.

My Greatest Supporters

My greatest supporters were my family and friends. I don't know where I would be if I didn't have my family support from my parents Edward and Anna, my brother Alexander, and my grandmother Carmen. While I didn't start this journey with my current friends, I'm glad I'm finishing this journey with them. Shoutout to Darren, Colin, Justin, Jynelle, Janelle, Eddie, Seb, Marcus, Garrick, & Austin.

Favorite Saint Mary's Memory

The many late nights I spent with my friends hanging out in the De La Salle lobby, the dorms, or on Ascot. Also my study abroad to Mexico with many of my friends was unforgettable.

My Next Chapter

I will be pursuing my J.D. at the University of San Francisco School of Law for the next three years. I plan to use what I have learned from both SMC and USF to enter a law career in either Criminal Justice or possibly intellectual property.
