Cohort Stories: Meet Xiomary
Boston: vol. 8, no. 82— guest post by Xiomary Hernandez
I take immense pride in my family background, recognizing the countless sacrifices my parents made to provide me with the life I have today. As a first-generation college student, I’ve come to deeply appreciate the challenges they overcame to grant me the opportunities I now have.
Particularly, my grandmother’s support has been really important in my journey, always there to help and guide me. Her unwavering encouragement and wisdom have been instrumental in guiding me through my academic and personal growth, shaping me into the individual I am now.
Growing up, whenever any family member encountered issues with their phones, I was always eager to help. This not only gave me a sense of accomplishment but also stirred a deep curiosity about how technology works. It was these moments, solving small but significant tech challenges for my family members, that laid the foundation for my growing interest in the field of technology.
I envision that my time at Hack.Diversity will be highly beneficial, as I recognize it as an excellent pathway for my future career. The opportunity to connect with peers and other individuals who share my career aspirations will undoubtedly contribute positively to achieving my professional goals.
