What does being a UMBC McNair scholar mean to you?:
It means being with other people who have the same drive and goals as me. It also means a community in which we can support and encourage each other as this process can be difficult. It also helps that we all come from similar backgrounds; be it first-gen or underrepresented, but we understand the obstacles we had to overcome to get here and how many more we may have to encounter to get to our goals.
