    To me, generational wealth means more than just passing down assets and money from one generation to the next. It means creating a strong financial foundation that can provide for future generations, enabling them to build upon what we have accomplished and continue to achieve financial success. It also means instilling important values and knowledge about personal finance in children, so that they can learn from successors and mistakes and continue to build on their family's financial legacy. Although my family doesn't do this, I plan to start this so that my children don't struggle in the future to make ends meet. One of the most important ways to achieve generational wealth is through education and skill-building. By acquiring the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in our careers and in our financial lives, we can build a solid foundation that can be passed down to future generations. For me, it means investing in my education and continuing to learn throughout my career. I plan to teach my children about personal finance and investing so that they can make informed decisions about their financial future. Another key factor in achieving generational wealth is investing. By investing in stocks, bonds, real estate, and other assets, we can create wealth that can be passed down to future generations. Investing requires careful planning, research, and a long-term view of financial success. It also requires a willingness to take risks, as investments can be volatile and unpredictable. However, by investing wisely and diversifying our portfolio, we can build wealth that can provide for future generations. In order to achieve generational wealth, I plan to take a comprehensive approach that includes education, investing, and responsible financial management. I plan to continue to invest in my education and skill-building so that I can achieve success in my career and build a strong financial foundation for my family. I also plan to invest wisely in a diversified portfolio of assets, including stocks, bonds, and real estate. I plan to live within my means, avoid debt whenever possible, and create a budget that allows me to save and invest in the future. Overall, generational wealth is an important concept that requires careful planning, hard work, and a long-term view of financial success. By investing in our education, building a diversified portfolio of assets, and committing to responsible financial management, one can create a strong financial foundation that can provide for future generations. I believe that with dedication and hard work, one can achieve generational wealth and pass down a legacy of financial stability and success to our children and grandchildren.

    Being a Latina in architecture means more than just being a professional in a field that is predominantly male and white. It means being part of a minority group that is underrepresented in the industry and faces unique challenges and opportunities. For me, being a Latina in architecture means embracing my cultural identity, bringing diversity and new perspectives to the field, and inspiring other Latinas to pursue careers in architecture and design. Once I graduate college, I plan on making a difference by promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in the architectural profession. One of my goals is to increase the representation of underrepresented groups in the industry by mentoring and supporting Latinas and other minorities in pursuing careers in architecture. I also plan on using my design skills and knowledge to create more inclusive and culturally responsive spaces that reflect the needs and values of diverse communities. Moreover, I plan on advocating for social and environmental justice through my work by integrating sustainable and socially responsible practices into my designs. I believe that architecture has the power to create positive change in society by addressing pressing issues such as climate change, inequality, and access to affordable housing. As a Latina inspired to become an architect, I want to use my expertise and creativity to create a more just and equitable world for all. In addition, I plan on using my bilingual and bicultural background to connect with clients and communities that may have been underserved or marginalized in the past. By bridging the communication and cultural gaps, I hope to create more meaningful and impactful designs that truly meet the needs of diverse communities. This approach not only benefits the clients by also enriches the architectural profession by promoting cross-cultural collaboration and understanding. In conclusion, being a Latina in architecture is both a privilege and a responsibility. It means bringing diversity, cultural awareness, and new perspectives to the field while promoting equity and inclusion. After college, I plan on making a difference by mentoring and supporting other Latinas in pursuing careers in architecture designing more inclusive and sustainable spaces, advocating for social and environmental justice, and promoting cross-cultural collaboration and understanding. As a Latina inspired to become an architect, I am proud to be a part of a community that values diversity, creativity, and innovation, and I look forward to contributing to the field in meaningful ways and plan to continue to promote these ideas in the future.

    The green industry is a rapidly growing field that is focused on developing sustainable solutions to address environmental issues. Just recently, I did a research essay focusing on social justice in architecture and interviewed specific people in the field who promote sustainability issues in architecture. Since I can remember, I loved architecture but always noticed how our environment and the way we live have always harmed climate change and the landscapes around us. Although I am not a licensed architect, I recognize the importance of promoting sustainability and preserving our planet's natural resources. I am passionate about the green industry because I believe it is critical to our survival and the future of our planet. One of the ways I plan to make a positive impact in the green industry is by promoting awareness and education about sustainability. I can help people understand the importance of reducing their carbon footprint and conserving natural resources. By providing information and resources about sustainable practices, I can help individuals ad businesses make informed decisions about their impact on the environment. Not just that but also provide information and awareness about environmental issues. For example, I can provide information and advice on sustainable energy solutions, eco-friendly products, the importance of recycling, and conservation. In doing so, I'm able to help individuals and organizations reduce their environmental footprint by suggesting ways to reduce waste, save energy, and minimize pollution. Another way I can make a positive impact in the green industry is by supporting research and development of sustainable technologies. For example, I can assist researchers in analyzing data and identifying patterns that can lead to the development of new and innovative solutions for environmental issues. By leveraging my computational power and ability to process vast amounts of data, I can help accelerate progress in this field. That is after I plan to graduate college. My passion for the green industry stems from my concern for the future of our planet and its inhabitants. As a human, I have emotions and recognize the importance of preserving the environment for future generations. I believe that the green industry offers a promising path toward a sustainable future by promoting the responsible and efficient use of natural resources reducing pollution and waste, and supporting biodiversity conservation. Overall, I am committed to making a positive impact in the green industry by leveraging my ideas and abilities beyond college. I am passionate about promoting sustainability and preserving our planet's natural resources, and I believe that by working together, we can create a more sustainable future for ourselves and future generations.
