Conclusion

The life I have managed to obtain since leaving Atlanta, a city notorious for being among the worst for upward economic mobility, has depended a lot on luck. But I know firsthand that, to survive, some families must sacrifice their emotional, psychological, and physical well-being while accepting low wages in the hopes of obtaining a lifestyle that many Americans take for granted. And I understand the fervent desire to pursue prosperity, even when oppressive laws and policies stand in the way. Regardless of where my career takes me, I want the freedom to counsel low-income, immigrant families to inspire them to continue pursuing the life they deserve.

Hi Rubi, thanks for a truly insightful essay. My very first impression of Morningside Heights involved how gentrified it was. Most of the time, I feel either so lucky that I hardly deserve to attend this school, or so overwhelmed like a case of imposter syndrome. Navigating those extremes has been a challenge, but I will continue to observe my immediate surroundings with a critical eye for injustice, as you do. - Justine Hong
