About
Hi, My name is Rhossy Paul, a Senior at the University of Arizona. I am graduating in December 2020 and I am so excited to be part the Honor Society Strength and Honor.
4 Years ago, I came to the United States with no English skills. Back home in the Central African Republic, I was a senior pursuing an undergraduate degree in Law. When I came to the United States in 2016, I found out that I could not transferred any of my credits from my college in the Central African Republic and I had to start college again in the United States as Freshman.
With no English skills, I accepted the challenge and started in 2016 to learn the Language. While learning the language my only one motivation was to go back to college and graduate within 3 years. After learning the language for 6 months I got admitted to Pima Community College in 2017, where I got my Associate Degree Art in Political Science after 1 year and half.
In 2019 I transferred to the University of Arizona to pursue an Undergraduate Degree in Political Science and French, and challenge myself to finish my dual degrees in 1 year and half. I met my challenge by taking during my 3 semesters at the University Of Arizona 21 credits each semester alongs with 9 credits for summer classes.
Today I can be proud of myself by saying the I did it. It was not easy but with devotions and honesty to myself I was able get it done by the timeframe I set and will graduate in December 2020.
