 My goal is to become a higher level administrator here or at another college or university.  </span></strong><span style="font-size:9.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#F2F2F2"><br>
 <br>
My mother worked on campus and read about the summer program offerings (the summer between my Junior and Senior years of high school). I was selected for the program and that started my long-term relationship with the WSIP. I remained involved as I continued
 with my graduate studies by attending the writing workshops, attending the Graduate Writing Institute and dissertation tutoring until my degree completion three years ago. Additionally, the department I work for would hire writing tutors from the WSIP to instruct
 summer program participants.<br>
 <br>
Without the WSIP, I would have never survived the dissertation process. Receiving feedback on how to structure my thoughts and turn them into a document that is now used to frame holistic review within medical school admissions would not have been possible.
 The patience that the instructors, specifically John and Andrea, had with me gave me the confidence to write about my findings and my personal and professional experiences. I am so very grateful to this program!<br>
 <br>
I appreciate the opportunity to work for Dr. Maria Teresa Velez and other college partners to secure funding for this program. The fact that the services were free and that the tutors took their time to get to know you and your writing story was so helpful
 and eased my fear of writing.<br>
I am always willing to serve and give back to the WSIP and I truly hope that as many students as possible are able to feel the positive impact I experienced during my time as a student.</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#F2F2F2"><br>
