Jennifer Martinez Romero, an international student at Parkland College and an aspiring public relations director, says coming to the United States was one of her wildest dreams.
“I am really happy to be here and consider myself quite fortunate to have won the scholarship to study in the U.S.,” she said.
Although a difficult job at times, the amiable Jennifer has accepted the challenge of studying abroad to make her dreams come true. She considers her mom her “lucky charm” who encourages every significant step of her life. Apart from her studies, Jennifer has a keen interest in movies and often goes to Champaign-Urbana movie theaters with friends.
Fine and Applied Arts is her favorite department at Parkland, but Jennifer likes other departments as well. She anticipates a successful academic year with a blast of activities. “This academic year at Parkland is a gala period for me, and I will remember these sweet memories all through my life,” she said.
