Anabella Segura Rivero was awarded the SUNY Empire Diversity Honors Scholarship

"I finished high school in Peru in 2004, graduated from a technical school in 2006, and at age 17 immediately got a job at a law firm in my hometown. I was in college for a year and a half when my family and I migrated to the United States for a better life.  At 19, I left the idea of studying aside to focus on working. I now have three young children. I know that having a degree from this country will provide a better future for all of us.  However, since I graduated from high school in another country, and over 10 years ago, I had to start again from the beginning. This was difficult for me, but the difference was that I was now in a country where your goals can be achieved if you have the motivation and dedication. I applied to ¸Û°Ä±¦µäin 2020.  With remote classes I was able to go to college and take care of my children at the same time. I  work as a legal assistant as well. I was honored to be invited to be part of the honor society in my second semester.  ¸Û°Ä±¦µä has many financial aid and scholarship opportunities to help students pay for their education. As my mom always told me, "Education is the biggest investment you can make."  After I graduate from Nassau, I plan to continue my education and then build a career, both for myself and my children."
