鈥淚 applied for this scholarship as I felt that it was a unique way for me to tell more about the events in my life that shaped me and reflect on them as I look towards the future,鈥� says Steve.

The INROADS scholarship was created to support the next generation of Hispanic leaders and recognize the recipients鈥� accomplishments, community involvement, leadership and social impact. Steve said he plans to use the scholarship to support his college experience and take advantage of all 柑橘直播 has to offer. 鈥淚 want to be able to not just be involved on campus but also attend as many college-related events in my remaining years here,鈥� he commented. Currently, Steve writes opinion pieces for The 柑橘直播n, and plans to join the 柑橘直播 Finance Group.

Steve aspires to work in the field of economics, but in a position that also combines his passion for writing and the skills he鈥檚 gained as an English major.

鈥湼涕僦辈� has helped to improve my writing skills greatly as well as helped me step out of my comfort zone both academically and personally. My professors played a key role in helping to improve my writing and help me to better understand topics that are important in our everyday lives,鈥� says Steve.

On the Economics side, Steve was able to attend this year鈥檚 NABE 2022 Annual Economic Policy Conference, which gave him great insight into the field he is pursuing. Wherever his career takes him, Steve remains passionate about help others.
