My name is Christian Zegarra and I had my life changed during the Summer of 2020. It has been a long journey and

thankful to be healthy and ride through the roads of New York State.

As a math graduate from SUNY Albany, I haven’t been successfully able to use my degree to help

students who struggle in math. The reason is that many places I applied like schools and tutoring centers don’t give me the opportunity. As my mom told me since I was in high school and to this day, “If it’s not for you, something big is waiting for you”. That always has stuck in my head and I feel like I don’t mind the waiting. I know the time will come and when it does I will be the change many will look back. I can make a difference if only you can give me a shot.
