UNO became my home away from home

I came to UNO after graduating from high school in Guatemala. I arrived with expectations, fears, and uncertainties, but UNO became my home away from home. It became the place where I first truly fell in love, built meaningful and lasting connections, and discovered my untamed personality. UNO taught me not to take life too seriously, while also giving me the determination to fight for my dreams. I became a better person because of my time at UNO, and I can honestly say it will always hold one of the most special places in my heart.
