Congratulations to this beautiful Class of 22 graduate!
Proudly representing the University Of California, Irvine!!!!!
This young woman is a single mother of a bright girl who has seen mommy work very hard to get here.
Her and her family came to the states from Guanajuato, Mexico many years ago. She didn't speak the language and was ridiculed for a long time because she wasn't "born in the states".
She struggled very much but she had a dream and her dream was to go to UCI and ultimately one day become a police sergeant.
When the time arrived, she applied to UCI and was so surprised to be accepted but not only that, everything was paid for!
She has made her family proud and also has shown her daughter that nothing should stop her from becoming educated and successful.
Help me congratulate Celene Perez for her high achievement and for being a great example to the hispanic community.
