For Nelson Henriquez Jr., who begins his <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/bisc\/\">biological sciences<\/a> major at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences this week, it also has provided a preview of the possibilities of his desired career path.<\/p>\n<p>As a graduate of the <a href=\"https:\/\/communities.usc.edu\/educational-partnerships\/nai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">USC Leslie and William McMorrow Neighborhood Academic Initiative<\/a>\u00a0(NAI) this past spring,\u00a0Henriquez believes he has been given an opportunity: \u201cI want to do something in medicine, specifically public health.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Henriquez, who will be the <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/first-generation-college-students-at-usc\/first-generation-college-student-union\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">first in his family to attend college<\/a>, had plenty of support from his parents. While father Nelson Henriquez Sr. provided for the family financially, mother Irma Henriquez made sure to seek out every opportunity to help her children succeed academically.<\/p>\n<p>That began by putting Henriquez in the first-ever Mandarin language program at City Terrace Elementary School. \u201cI wanted to give him every opportunity to learn and grow,\u201d Irma Henriquez said.<\/p>\n<p>Henriquez credits his parents and the program with helping him navigate all kinds of obstacles.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/migration-uploads\/Nelson-Henriquez_InStoryB-3289.jpg\" alt=\"Nelson Henriquez Jr. shares a couch with his family, wrapping his arm around his mother, who holds a cell phone while his father leans on his mother's shoulder and his sister sits next to his father.\" width=\"300\" height=\"467\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nelson Henriquez Jr., left, credits his family with providing the work ethic to get through the program.

The support helped me get through some tough stretches.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Years of hard work pay off<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Irma Henriquez doesn\u2019t lose sight of the hard work it took for her son to complete his seven-year journey. \u201cHe has the opportunity of getting a scholarship, tuition free. For us it\u2019s a miracle, a dream come true,\u201d she said. \u201cThis is because of the hard work he did. It was not given to him for free. He earned it since middle school.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Henriquez\u2019s work ethic and his passion for music \u2014 he plays keyboard in his dad\u2019s Latin band \u2014 led him to a part-time job at the Walt Disney Concert Hall on the guest services team, even though his parents wanted him to focus on his studies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy junior year was the hardest because I was juggling the job at the music center, I was working late and then I had my AP classes, volleyball, on top of USC NAI on weekends,\u201d Henriquez said. \u201cIt was pretty tiring, but I didn\u2019t mind it.
