“On May 7th, 2021 I graduated from the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration. From being dual enrolled in high school, I was able to celebrate this milestone by graduating college at the age of 20! During the midst of the global pandemic, I lost my grandfather in July 2020 due to complications of COVID-19. While taking summer classes and completing my dream internship with Charles Schwab , I didn’t believe in myself to keep going. My cousin and I relied on each other and our bond grew stronger after losing such a patriarch of our family. Going into my final semester at UCF, I wanted to pay tribute to him leading up to graduation. This is all for you💙”
