Senait Weldemariam’s family comes from Eritrea. Her parents moved to the
United States in
1993<http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/06/senait-weldemariam-first-_n_1574529.html>
so
that she could have the kind of education they never had. Senait’s dream
has been to attend Gettysburg College <http://www.gettysburg.edu/> in
Pennsylvania and with hard work and dedication, she was accepted with a
full scholarship. She is the first in her family to pursue a college degree.
