Veronica hopes to become a child psychologist and to establish orphanages for children in Latin America.  

“When I first arrived in the U.S. three years ago, going to a top college did not seem possible; but now, because of support from Kaplan, I have a much better chance of transferring to a top school.” – Veronica Nuñez
