Brooklyn Lugo

Hi, my name is Brooklyn and i am a freshmen at Nashua Community College. I just finished my first semester in which I took 2 classes part time. I also have a part time job at Calvin Klein where I work between 20-30 hours each week. It's the first job I'v ever had and what a good experience it has been so far! Not only have a learned a lot about working with people and customers, but it has also taught me good work ethic. I am very scrupulous about what I do, and like things done correctly. All in all, I'm working very hard at both and plan to keep pushing myself to acquire my associates degree. Now let me tell you a little about my self. Since I was a young girl I'v always pushed myself to the best of my abilities even when things were tough. I have a learning disability that impacts my working memory, making learning very difficult. I knew I couldn't let my learning disability interfere with my future accomplishments, so in high school I stayed countless hours doing additional work and making sure I got the extra help I needed to be successful. I also took an extra math class to further my mathematical skills. My senior year I had great grades, earning A's in all my classes and also received two scholarships. Although these accomplishments weren't easy for me, I knew I couldn't give up, and I knew I couldn't let my learning disability get in the way of my goals and my future! I was always told that college was going to be extremely difficult for me, and that I shouldn't further my education. Currently, I am working very hard at Nashua Community College, with two A's and couldn't be more excited to continue my educational journey!
