One of my key support systems was the Honors
program and Professor Barbara Clinton who gave me the tools,
guidance, and mentorship that I had always been in need of.
Being in contact with such a diverse group at Highline gave me a
perspective on life which is more appreciative and understanding
of the differences that exist between people. Becoming friends
with international students and learning about their countries
has inspired me to further pursue international studies. It also
helped me to realize how good we have it in the United States
and led me to make the decision to serve as a future officer. I
now attend the United States Military Academy at West Point and
I believe I couldn’t have gotten here without Highline, the
Honors program, and Professor Clinton.
