法布的阿宾顿故事
法布遇到了她的丈夫, 马太福音, at 阿宾顿 — he proposed to her in the classroom in the Sutherland Building where they first met. She wanted to tell her 阿宾顿 story, in her own words:
"Attending college was not a choice for me, it was a priority. Penn State was on the top of my list of choices, but once I found out I was expecting there was no doubt in my mind that I wanted to attend 宾州州立大学阿宾顿分校 in the fall of 2006. I was a young mother to my one-month-old, Enrique.
"College life was not simple for a young mother, but I truly enjoyed every bit of it. The greenery around campus, 放松的池塘, and the great support and community made attending 阿宾顿 the best years. I met some of the best friends. There were days I didn't have a babysitter for Enrique, 我的朋友, Michael Ucci (corporate communication, 2011), would watch him for me in Lares while I attended my class.
"The support from my classmates and friends and from staff in Student Affairs, 职业发展, and Intercultural Affairs and professors is what truly helped me to stay focused.
“我学的是科学, and so most of my teachers were amazing, dedicated and extremely helpful but one I will never forget. He just had such a passion for teaching and such a connection with his students. He was always available to help with assignments, 实验室工作, or even re-explained topics covered in class.
"My experience at 阿宾顿 is one I will never forget. As a young mother and college student, my five years were by far made less stressful because I was always surrounded with people who truly wanted to see me succeed and graduate."
