Jennyfer Avila-Zavala: I would say one of the best things about going to college is meeting people from different parts of the world and making new connections and growing as a person.

Jennyfer Avila-Zavala: The most challenging thing for me in college has been time management and prioritizing my time, balancing both homework, clinical time and making time for myself.
