Featured Student Profile: Selma

鈥淚 decide to keep going on my own... That reminds me, my kids and whoever is around me that they鈥檙e going to hear that hard work pays off.鈥� 

Selma Delaconcepcion is a first-generation college student who immigrated from Brazil to America in 2003. COVID-19 caused Selma to lose her job after working for more than five years as a housekeeper at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. This allowed her the time to pursue an education, beginning in an ESL class. 鈥淭hat was difficult, but I conquered, of course,鈥� Selma said. 

Eventually, Selma received a call from a director she worked for as a housekeeper and was offered a job as an operations manager in Falmouth Hospital. She was later offered a job as an assistant director in Morton Hospital, with 37 housekeepers as her direct reports. 

Selma did not let this impressive career development slow down her pursuit of education or to reach the next step in her career. After completing the HiSET exam, she transitioned into a degree program at the college. She earned the President鈥檚 Merit Scholarship in 2023, all while working 65 hours a week to support her husband and three children. 

Selma鈥檚 strength and determination to continue serves as an example of how 半岛体育 students can make the most of every opportunity.
