After an arduously challenging year, I& #39;m thrilled to announce that I& #39;ll be attending
@UCBerkeley to finish my degrees in #Economics & #Physics.

Community college is often looked down upon, but I& #39;d never do it without the incredible support from
@Foothillnews. Here& #39;s a https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧵" title="Thread" aria-label="Emoji: Thread"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬇️" title="Pfeil nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach unten">

When I got rejected from most universities I applied to last year, I felt hopeless & lost. It felt like attending a 4-year was impossible without crippling debt, let alone getting into a world-class #university like Berkeley.

I ended up foregoing the offers I did get & chose to attend @Foothillnews instead. At Foothill, I was greeted by immensely helpful counselors & faculty, thanks to whom I& #39;m able to complete my Associate& #39;s Degree in Economics in just one year.

It wasn& #39;t easy—I took the maximum amount of units allowed, maintained a 4.0 GPA, & still continued working on things I cared about. Thankfully, it was worth it, & I will forever be grateful to the Foothill community for giving me the resources & opportunities to do my best.

If you& #39;re in a similar spot to where I was in high school, I urge you: #dontgiveup! Despite what social stigma may dictate #communitycollege remains one of the most lucrative ways to not only save time & money but to get a second chance at proving yourself to your top #university

If you have any questions about this process, please feel free to reach out. I& #39;ll be happy to help out!

And now, back to work. This is just the beginning.
