Undergraduate 海角社区s
Cesar Estrada
Bachelor of Arts in Political Science
鈥淎s an international student, this path has been challenging and with obstacles along the way, but now at the end of the path I can say that I am proud and happy for what I have achieved since I have done it representing my country. This achievement goes to my family, my girlfriend, and my friends for all the support they have given me throughout this journey. Without your advice, help and support, I would not be where I am now, I know that I will continue to count on you for my future goals. I want to warmly thank the political science department and its professors for providing me with a great education and for inspiring me to explore new ideas, topics, and concepts.鈥
Gabriel Loya
Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, Summa Cum Laude
鈥淧eople who know me will know what my life philosophy is: 鈥済o big or go home.鈥 And that鈥檚 exactly what I did; I did everything I possibly could, and I still feel like I did not do enough. However, my time at this university has finally come to an end and it鈥檚 time to go big at law school. First, I want to thank everyone at the department of political science for helping me every step of the way and motivating me to be the best version of myself. Second, I want to thank my family for helping me get through this. And last but not least, I want to thank Dr. Rebecca Reid for being the best mentor someone could ask for. This university means the world to me, and I don鈥檛 know who I would be without it. 鈥

"I would like to say thank you firstly to my family for being so involved in my academic life. My parents both have been very supportive of my academic goals and my changing career plans. I would especially love to thank my older sisters, Jazmin and Kristal, for truly being people I can trust and confide in and their unconditional acceptance of me was what kept me going. I would also like to thank my friends for being the calm in the storm. Everyone currently in my life has made it better, and I am not sure what the future holds although I'm very excited to find out."
