My greatest accomplishment at SUA has been to rediscover myself and my passion for women’s and children’s rights and well-being. This is the reason I dedicated my thesis to the strong women of the world who stand up and speak out against injustice and abuse directed either towards them or another. I also dedicated it to the innocent children of the world who hope to make their dreams come true. I think the cohort-based model of this program supported me in going beyond my comfort zone in classrooms, exploring my strengths and weaknesses, and polishing my leadership skills. I believe that my cohort, “the Great 8,” has motivated me to become a self-reflective, self-aware, and compassionate human being.
