After years of juggling classes, working on projects and studying for exams, the end goal \u2014 a degree and chance at a better future \u2014 is within sight.<\/p>\n<p>However in 2016, when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/degree\/psychology-bs\/clinical-psychology-track\/\">clinical psycholog<\/a>y major Jennifer Martinez de Pinillos was planning to graduate from Arturo Michelena University of Venezuela\u2019s Carabobo State, she instead had to prepare to uproot her entire life and family to a foreign country.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhen you grow up in a country, you never expect to leave. Because of [circumstances] you have to leave everything, even your dreams.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>de Pinillos, along with her parents and younger brother and sister, are a just a few of the 3 million emigrants from Venezuela who have fled their native country due to worsening economic, social and political conditions. During the past two years, hyperinflation in the nation, which is now estimated to be more than 1 million percent, has made it difficult for citizens to get food, medicine and other essential items. A cup of coffee there now costs 2.5 million bolivars.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you grow up in a country, you never expect to leave. Because of [circumstances] you have to leave everything, even your dreams. I was about to graduate there and I had my plan for life,\u201d de Pinillos says.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Finding New Purpose <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>That plan was to pursue a master\u2019s degree in her country\u2019s capital of Caracas and to work for the U.S. embassy in Venezuela. But just like de Pinnilos\u2019 life, her dream has changed entirely. Soon to graduate with her bachelor\u2019s in clinical psychology from 麻豆原创, she now plans to return to the university to pursue her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/degree\/nonprofit-management-mnm\/\">master\u2019s in nonprofit management<\/a>. de Pinillos says she hopes to one day own her own nonprofit shelter and help provide essentials for those in need.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI want to be able to give all those things to people so they can dream again.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI know from the Venezuelan and American perspectives if you don\u2019t have the basics you cannot dream. You can\u2019t expect to go to college if you don\u2019t have food, if you don\u2019t have anything to wear. I want to be able to give all those things to people so they can dream again,\u201d de Pinillos says.<\/p>\n<p>Since coming to Florida, she has already put this focus to use by helping those back in Venezuela. de Pinillos and her family periodically send boxes of clothing, medical supplies and other necessities to the church they attended, along with nearby orphanages. In the two years they\u2019ve been here, they\u2019ve sent 20 boxes of donated items from friends, community members and themselves to those in need.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy desire to help came from [living in] Venezuela. By helping Venezuelans from here, I discovered there are communities in the U.S. that are helping [elsewhere,]\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<h2>Life in Venezuela<\/h2>\n<p>Although her mom, Aury Garanton, says her daughter was always looking for ways to help others, remembering conditions in Venezuela helps de Pinillos keep her focus on her home country. Her family lived in Valencia, an industrial city that is considered an economic hub. Her mother was a medical translator who would often travel to the United States for work, and her dad was a real estate agent. Although her family was better off in some ways than many other families, it was the violence surrounding university protests in the nation that caused them to move.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2015 there were more protests so my mom and dad started to say we couldn\u2019t stay anymore,\u201d de Pinillos says.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThere were times we couldn\u2019t go out of our house for a week. It was stressful because &#8230; you don\u2019t really know what\u2019s going on.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In the year before that, Geraldine Moreno, a fellow classmate, was assassinated by National Guardsmen outside her home for protesting. The school that de Pinillos\u2019 brother attended was at the center of the university movement opposing the government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were times we couldn\u2019t go out of our house for a week,\u201d she says. \u201cIt was stressful because the government doesn\u2019t allow for transmissions of the protests on television, so you don\u2019t really know what\u2019s going on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During these times, de Pinillos and her family, along with other Venezuelans, would experience <em>guarimbas<\/em>, or blockades. Citizens would use trees, tires and whatever other items they could find to block the roads to prevent <em>colectivos<\/em>, armed pro-government groups that attack protestors, from raiding homes and harassing people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s very hard leaving your family, friends and everything you\u2019ve built for years. But life is about what is ahead. You can build anywhere you can go,\u201d her mother says.<\/p>\n<h2>Building a Future<\/h2>\n<p>During that building process, it\u2019s been challenging for de Pinillos to adapt to the culture of her new home, she says. But by watching the TV show <em>Friends\u00a0<\/em>to get familiar with the American sense of humor and making friends in her classes, she\u2019s overcome this.<\/p>\n<p>When she first came to 麻豆原创 in Fall 2017, she struggled with adjusting to the education system in the United States. In Venezuela, bachelor\u2019s degree programs typically take five years to complete. Universities there determine every course students must take in that time, with no general education classes or choices for electives like in the United States.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMy journey at 麻豆原创 has allowed me to encounter myself and know who I really am, what I really want and what I am capable of doing,\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Karen Cox, director of 麻豆原创\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/psychology\/undergraduate-advising\/\">Psychology Advising Center<\/a>, met de Pinillos at orientation and has stayed connected with her since to ensure her success. Cox says her department\u2019s willingness to work with transfer students allowed her to substitute many of de Pinillos\u2019 previous courses to fulfill 麻豆原创\u2019s graduation requirements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was just the look on her face at orientation that told me this student had some special needs, and I needed to find out what they were so I could help. She is a great communicator and shared her history and her future goals with me quickly,\u201d Cox says. \u201cHer focused ambition allowed me to guide her to the 麻豆原创 resources she needed, without any time wasted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>de Pinillos plans to carry that ambition forward into her graduate studies and pursuits after graduation to help better the world, but she credits her experience at 麻豆原创 for providing the foundation on which she\u2019s been able to build her new dream.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I came [to Florida] my concern was, \u2018What am I going to do?\u2019, [but] my journey at 麻豆原创 has allowed me to encounter myself and know who I really am, what I really want and what I am capable of doing,\u201d de Pinillos says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After
