MEET RASMEE
Attending college has been my goal ever since I was old enough to think concretely about my future. My parents came to the U.S. to pursue better opportunities but have faced many roadblocks on the way and sacrificed a lot so that I wouldn’t face the same barriers. I have access to opportunities to go where they couldn’t, so these past four years in high school I have worked hard to take advantage of all those opportunities in order to assure myself a spot in college and a good scholarship. I hope that while in college I will be able to explore many different disciplines and find out where what I want to do and what the world needs intersect. I hope to one day pay forward all the sacrifices my parents have made by reaching a position in which I can open the door to others that have been disadvantaged.

She also just returned from a trip to Ethiopia, where she was born, with her family!
