One of the most influential experiences so far in the leadership program has been working towards my leadership project this year. This project was extremely important to me because of my experiences with the naturalization process. When I was little, I constantly watched my family suffer at the hands of their citizenship status. I am very cognizant of the privilege I hold as a citizen born on American soil. Watching my family go through the naturalization process when I was 8 made me want to make a difference in the immigrant community. There were so many kind souls that provided my family the opportunity to pursue naturalization\u2014one of them is now my godmother.<\/p>\n

I held a naturalization workshop with a representative from Casa de Maryland on April 6, 2021. It was great to help immigrants that attended and recommend more resources in the DMV area. Although it was hard because of the online format, I was really happy to have the opportunity.<\/p>\n

\"\"Hi! My name is Karla Santillan.
\nI am a sophomore at the American University in the School of International Service (SIS), majoring in International Relations and Advanced Leadership Studies.<\/p>\n

As a member of the American University’s School of Public Affairs Leadership Program, I recently finished my first-year leadership project focusing on Immigrant and Refugee Rights. \u00a0My group and I utilized our on-campus resources\u2014as well as connections in our nations capital\u2014 to create a scholarship for first-generation immigrants at Cardozo Education Campus in Washington, DC. I benefited from a similar scholarship, which allowed me to the ability to pursue a post-secondary education. Being able to afford a college education is a privilege, by creating this scholarship we created a dent in the cost of attendance for two seniors at Cardozo.<\/p>\n

Immigration resonates with me strongly due to my heritage. My family immigrated from Ecuador shortly before my birth, leaving everything behind. Growing up, I saw my family struggle to adjust to life in the United States, giving me a multicultural perspective of the world. My parent’s story caused me to learn a valuable lesson: the only way through adversity is hard-work.<\/p>\n

Along with being a hard worker, I pride myself on my ability to empathize with others. Empathy is a leadership trait that is often underrated, but its role is paramount. By being able to connect with others, I can establish meaningful relationships that allow me to effectively lead. Through hard-work and empathy, I plan to achieve my future goals of becoming an immigration lawyer that empowers families on their pathway to citizenship.<\/p>\n
