"Being the first in my family to leave home for college I had no idea what I was doing or even how to go about doing anything in college. Having a mentor throughout my first year was very helpful and I knew that I would want that same support during my second year. Having a mentor throughout my second has really helped me work through any questions I had whether it be about school or personal. My mentor has been one of my biggest supporters my second year and she never failed to make me feel like I belonged here at UCSD and support me through my decision making. 2 Excel provided a space for me to be able to take advantage of different resources on campus but also learn about these different resources and be able to share my experiences with other's who share similar experiences while also getting to know more about others."
