How has education changed your life/your family? 

I am the first person in my family to go to college, but not the first to be interested in education or learning! My parents have always encouraged my curiosity and eagerness for new challenges. My dad put his education together through a combination of voracious self-teaching and many community education courses. Now he teaches at UMBC. My mom taught me all my most important interpersonal and communication skills and continues to be a leader in our family. So, for us, education has always been holistic.
