Kathleen Le鈥檚 parents came to America from Vietnam. They wanted her to have opportunities that weren鈥檛 possible for them. They wanted her to be a doctor.

鈥淏ut I realized I couldn鈥檛 do the blood and guts,鈥� says Le 鈥�16, who is headed to the University of New England to pursue a doctorate in physical therapy, a career field that she thinks will meet another of her parents鈥� hopes for her: financial security.

鈥淧hysical therapy is a good combination of my interest in helping people and theirs in me earning a decent living,鈥� Le says. What鈥檚 more, it builds on her undergraduate degree in nutrition and wellness. 鈥淚 would love to combine the two degrees. Good nutrition is so important when it comes to healing.鈥�

A summer spent studying in Italy remains one of the highlights of her college experience. 鈥淚 learned so much about myself and got so much more out of it than I expected,鈥� she says.

To incoming freshmen, Le says听鈥淒on鈥檛 be afraid to ask questions, and take care of yourself. If you think you may need a little bit more help then ask for it.鈥澨�
