I want to thank all of the APUG program and community for making these last four years great. I appreciate everyone for making this major feel like home. I want to give an extra special thank you to all the advisors! I have had the opportunity to work with almost all of you and each one of you has taught me so much! You have all given me the courage to go out in the world and do great things. APUG has really been a home to me and I am sad to be leaving but I will always remember you all and I promise to not be a stranger!

& The Memories You Made Along the Way...

I am grateful for every one that I meet and was able to work with, learn from, agree and disagree with. As Abraham Lincoln once said “We can learn from everyone. Even if it’s not what to do.” Thanks to MY APUG advisors, Ramy Ebied, I learned that it’s okay not to be okay. From Amanda Holda, I learn that it’s okay to take a break. From Erica Rodriguez, I learned the power of effective guidance with regards to academic planning.

From Faculty members like Dr. Schick I learned that it’s okay to remain religious, straight forward and assertive regardless of the noise and challenges around. Dr. Melzi made feel heard, understood and welcomed from the very beginning while I was undergoing imposter syndrome. Brian, assisted me to the best of his ability for me to finish my courses in good shape. Dr. Mary Brabeck thaught me to love my children no matter what, to always reinforce the reward system and to take care of myself. Dr. Josh Aronson, thaught me how to take my power back and to put my family first.

Everyone at APUG thaught me something new directly and indirectly and I intend to use all these new information and experiences to help uplift and advocate others and myself especially, the less fortunate.

Many thanks APUG for the journey.

Congratulations APUG grads!

You are amazing students, and, more importantly, exceptional

people, and you have a lot to be proud of! I am confident that each of you is going to go on to do great things!

Remember, though, to give yourself time to figure out what it

is that YOU want to do. If you don’t know what that is right now, that’s truly okay. Give yourself time to figure out what

path you want to take. You’re going to get there! After all, you are SEMINAR SURVIVORS!

Keep in touch and let me know about your exciting (or just regular-life) adventures!
