When I moved to the United States from Ecuador in 2009, I could not imagine receiving a higher education in this country. Two barriers were in front of my dreams: my finances and the English language. But Westchester Community College has been there for me since the beginning of my journey. Here is where I started my first lesson of English and now I am about to graduate from the Cybersecurity program. However, none of these dreams could be possible without the support of the Kathryn W. Davis Global Community Scholarship and the Westchester Community College Foundation. They have helped me enormously to continue my education and follow my dreams. Thanks to them, my goals are more defined and tangible, I plan to transfer next summer to a four-year college and get a bachelor’s degree in Information Technology. In addition, I would like to earn a master’s degree in Information Technology and work as a teacher in a university. In this way, I will be able to return to society what I have received.
