Where there's a Will, there's a Way – Sandra Carmona Jobe

As a first-generation immigrant Sandra was brought here to the states at a young age. Where she knew that being undocumented was going to hinder her chances of getting a College Education. She vividly remembers the first time it affected her as she missed the opportunity to go to New York City in the 8th grade after winning a school project that she had pour her heart and soul to.  Thankfully in her senior year of high school DACA was passed. Where it would give her a better opportunity to go to College. However, because no one knew what benefits it provided, it became stressful as Sandra was not sure if she was going to have the funds to attend college. With the help of the community that Sandra had built around her she was able to attend college. Which left a huge impact in her life as she now feels the need to give back to the next generation. During this stressful times Sandra developed Bell’s palsy. Where she tells us the importance of knowing yourself as well as knowing how to time manage. As being part of the community and always willing to give back she realize that her dream and what she enjoys doing is helping other go to college. That is why she decided to get her Masters in Higher Education and Students Affairs. Know she is a mentor to the next generation helping high schoolers get a full ride to schools that have a cost of $50,000 a year.  If you want to learn more about her story and of this great young woman who is a great example for us of what it truly means not to give up on your dream.
