Annie Wong
Mt. Holyoke College

"My family played a significant role in shaping my dreams. Dealt with challenging circumstances, my parents equipped me with self-reliance. My parents both worked long hours six days a week, so they never had time to help me with my studies. Without their assistance, I had to be my own motivation, and they trusted me enough to chart my own academic development. Ultimately, I hope to be a college history professor, to veer off on my own and pursue something that I love."
