How has the TTS Program helped you?
I have had an amazing experience in this program because my advisor provided important information for my career goals.

What keeps you motivated and positive throughout life’s hardships?
My family keeps me motivated and positive throughout life's hardships. As I always say to my children, we are a team. Since I decided to continue my education, my husband has been a true support by taking care of our children, and helping me clean the house. In addition, he is the only one working and I feel very thankful for having him as a friend, partner, and right hand.

What advice would you like to give to your fellow scholars?
My advice to my fellow scholars is: Do not leave for tomorrow what you can do today. Do not procrastinate, be determined to accomplish your short and long term goals by creating a plan.

What are your plans after graduation?
My plans after I graduate are to find a job, apply for a loan to continue pursuing my master's degree, and buy a house.
