A Message From Karina Salazar
Hello my name is Karina Salazar and I am a first generation Mexican American as well as the first of my family to ever attend university! I find great inspiration in this campaign because it hit so close to home, my hometown, Compton was a rough neighborhood with limited resources. Consequently a lot of hardworking families with low income had issues of social and financial means. I had never considered university or higher education in general a priority or possibility, but as I grew older I found counselors and teachers who believed in me. I believe every child from any backgrounds deserves to have a person who is there to motivate them, cheer them on and most importantly believe in them.
