Intro my name is Angelica Bernal and I am a Lone Star College Honors College alumni I transferred to Cornell University to Why Cornell the biomedical engineering program I'm from Venezuela and I always dream of having the best possible education and I always wanted to be a scientist I really was attracted to the idea of research and I moved to the us about four years ago and I always look up to Cornell because it has a really good engineering program I would say it was really my dream school and when I was able to go in the fall I really felt like it was a really good match for me I was also the recipient of the John can cook undergraduate transfer scholarship which covers around 55 000 dollars every year and it also offers us advising and opportunities to go to conferences and internships when I heard John Can Cook Scholarship about me being a recipient it was it was really hard to believe I was like really excited um I will see my mom and my dad and we were really happy and it meant really a lot to us because it was a very important like financial support to be able to afford the nest two or three years for my location it was certainly a lot of hope it meant for them because they worked really hard I moved here with my mom my dad is still in Venezuela he came for my graduation from Lone Star so we were all three together they always tell me that they are really happy that um I have these opportunities at hand like leadership programs internships and all that I think one of Community the most exciting Parts about this scholarship was that we have this junk and cool community and I know that it was similar to the community that we have here at the Honors College so it was good to know that I also had another Community even if I moved to another state or to another school I do think that I was able to be where I am right now thank to the Honors College at Lone Star College especially I like the close Community we have like a very close relationship between student and professor and we are able to get feedback on our research projects and papers so that was really helpful and it taught me that Academia and research in general is very collaborative and that was really important for me I also think that being at Lone Star stock Community College helped helped me a lot because in the first place I was able to be close to home and that was really important for me because when I started at Lone Star we were like my mom and I we moved to the us about four years ago so we were living here for about two years so I still felt like I needed to stay home and like help around so that was important and also again the close Community having like this smaller classrooms being able to interact closely professors ask questions that was very important for me I feel like even now at Cornell when we have like these huge classes this proactiveness and responsibility to own your own learning what's really important for me because now I go to office hours and ask questions and make sure that the professor knows me even though there are like hundreds of students I started at Community College showed me that everything is possible and I'm glad to be able to challenge this product about Community College and show that there's really a lot to learn here foreign
