Joselin: Confident and Focused

“Throughout my time in CIS I received a lot of help and support from Ms. Flores, my CIS Student Support Manager, academically and on the soccer field. Academically she has helped facilitate the process of figuring out what college I want to attend, how to complete my college applications and even helped me when I needed to revise my college essay. This helped me a lot because I knew I had someone that had been through this process before and had the experience that my parents did not since I am the first generation to attend college in the United States.

During soccer season I knew I also had a supporter in the stands which was Ms. Flores, this pushed me to do better on the field and always give it my all. She was always there during the easy dubs and those tight games that ended in tears, after those though losses is when she helped me the most letting me know I tried my best and left everything on the field.

I will never forget these moments but now CIS will help me in different ways in this next chapter of my life. After high school I plan to major in nursing at the University of St. Thomas and continue to play soccer for the next four years.”
