Personal Statement- Stephanie Olivera Growing up I was always the odd one in our family. When my parents started having children, they did not plan us very well.

I was the child that did not have anyone to "play" with, and I grew accustomed to being alone.

I want to escape the socioeconomic status I was born into, which is why I am pursuing a post-secondary education.

For new residents feeling anxious about transitioning to a new place, I offered reassurance and showcased the facility's best aspects, creating a sense of home.
