My Graduate Assistantship has allowed me to excel in my studies and has provided a bridge to communicate with fellow students and community workers.

When are you scheduled to graduate and what do you want to do, in general, with your career?

I hope to finish my thesis in 2009. I wish to pursue a career as a writer, editor and translator.

Have you received scholarships, travel funds or other types of support for your education? If yes, how has that support helped you?

I have been granted both tuition remission and a scholarship. Without this incredible aid, it would not have been possible for me to attend Graduate School. I will always be grateful for this opportunity.
