Success Story sophia c.

 

Sophia graduated from the University of Georgia in December 2021 with a degree in Exercise and Sport Science and is now pursuing a doctorate in physical therapy, focusing on outpatient care for breast cancer patients.

As the middle of three siblings, Sophia has faced significant challenges, including her older sibling's battle with breast cancer and her younger sibling's fellowship in Pennsylvania. Her parents, who immigrated from Argentina in 1992, have also faced financial difficulties, especially during the pandemic.

Despite these obstacles, Sophia remains committed to her studies and volunteer work, spending her summer helping migrant farmers through a Georgia State University program. She is grateful to donors for their support, which has been crucial in helping her achieve her dream of becoming a physical therapist.
