“My two years at UWC Costa Rica gave me more than an education, they gave me lifelong friendships and the chance to build connections with people from across the world. Those relationships are something I will carry with me forever, and a reminder of what becomes possible when we come together across difference. As a first-generation university student, this opportunity not only transforms my own path, it creates a new starting point for my family and the generations that follow. I carry it with deep responsibility and sincere gratitude”
