Mi Historia: Melanie Fite on resiliency and driving excellence

I learned at a young age what it takes to be resilient. At 19, I moved to the United States and began taking college-level classes for the first time in a new language. The move felt both heart-breaking and intimidating, as I felt I was leaving people behind and didn’t know what was ahead. Looking back, moving was the best thing that happened to me. The perspective I gained from understanding two different cultures is immensely valuable in realizing why each of us are different and how our differences become our strength.
