I was welcomed and "raised" in the SEEDS program during my sophomore year and now, 17 years later, I continue to benefit from the SEEDS program. This 25 year celebration made me reflect that, we (SEEDS/me), still have a long hike ahead of us. I would like to dedicate this time to showcase my mentors, friends, peers, and staff that have been part of the development of our success. I also want to remind everyone that though SEEDS exists, we all have to keep using our own brújula to continue navigating towards a rewarding career.
