"My passion to make a difference in local and global academic communities stems from my experiences while working with students who are at intersectional disadvantages in our higher educational systems via the 教育al Opportunity Program (EOP), 教育al 人才搜索(ETS)和升学(UB). 有经验的指导，通过 lens of a mentee, a mentor and a researcher I see the imperative need of mentoring programs aimed at helping first-generation, low-income students of color succeed in 学术界. The need for more culturally grounded, relevant, and responsive solutions to prevailing issues of the Chicanx/Latinx communities in 学术界 is the fire that 点燃了我对社会变革的热情. I hope to use my Mexican-American Master's degree to enter the California State University educational system armed with the knowledge necessary to make a change in Chicanx/Latinx students’ 生活 through better culturally grounded educational policies, pedagogy, mentoring and advising." |

"My passion to make a difference is defined by my love for this world and my hope that future generations will not have to struggle through the hardships that I faced 独自一人. I acknowledge that hardship catalyzes growth and shaped me into who I am today, but I believe creating a safe environment for growth from failure through supported exploration can create the same effect without leaving individuals emotionally damaged. My hope as a future professional is to inspire compassion for others through the support I offer those I work with in the hopes that they will do the same for others in their 生活. If I am able to successfully ease the struggles some一个 faces in their life at that given point of time, then I will know I have d一个 my job." |

"What defines my passion for the environment (particularly the ocean) is knowing that we are deeply connected to every aspect of this complex and diverse planet, and each day and each year we come closer to proving how deep the connections are through better 数据与研究. I see my role as using this data to help our culture understand and embrace changes through new laws, policies, or programs that will create better interactions 我们的环境. It is only fair that we become respectful stewards of the very environment that provides us with water, plentiful food, oxygen, and beautiful landscapes and adventures that is not only available for us thrive on but for future generations, and that we maintain a level of equity not only with our own species but with others 它们占据了这个星球." |

丹尼尔Patenaude 教育 |
"I am motivated everyday by the students I work with to find new ways to elevate their learning and help them make their voices heard in a system that does not always value the full picture of who they are as multilingual learners. 我坚信民主， student-centered education, and my desire to provide access to that type of learning experience for students is behind my drive to continue research and pursue further 在上海州立大学的花边硕士课程的教育. 我很幸运身边有这么多了不起的人 examples of motivated and hardworking educators in this program and at my school that help support my pursuit of more equitable practices for our students." |

艾米的年轻 音乐 |
"Through my courses of study last semester, I conducted research into the psychological and physiological effects 集体歌唱, as well as how music can serve as a vehicle to break down barriers between diverse groups and create dialogue about peace and understanding, creating deeper connections between people and magnifying the effects 集体歌唱. It is my ultimate goal to combine this research on group singing with the field of individual music therapy techniques to create a “group therapy” 以集体演唱为中心的技巧. 我的希望是促进团体治疗项目 in places they are needed most, such as homeless shelters, prisons, youth centers, psychiatric facilities, group homes, and underprivileged schools - environments where people often feel disconnected from others and society. 我计划制定策略 and techniques for successful growth musically and socially, using choir as common ground for all participants regardless of background." |
