My biggest challenge was actually coming here to the U.S., totally alone without my family when my English wasn't too good. I struggled a lot in the beginning, but I never gave up and kept trying. Right now, my biggest struggle is to manage everything because I know I'm doing too much, but I just love to do a lot of things and I want to get out of college feeling good and enjoying the most I can. I want to do as many things as I can and I don't like to give up. I love to be busy and to help, especially now I want to help Holy Cross with the social media, maybe connect with other colleges and do big things, and also improve our tennis team's marketing which wasn't too good. Since I was young, I always loved to travel and know new things. I was always very grateful for my life and the opportunities and always loved my family so much, but at the same time, I had this desire to explore. My parents have a company, so that's why I came to this business world, and I was always helping them with everything and was always part of the meetings they have. I was always very extroverted as a child, always talking to everyone, but I also had this desire to go to another school where I don't know anyone and see how it is. That was always inside me, this desire to explore even my fears, things that I am afraid to do. I love to grow and to be better every day, and now I'm here in the U.S., just very open to every opportunity that appears because I just want to live and experience as many things as I can.
