“Everyone’s just smiling, saying hello. Everyone’s always in a good mood here,” Flores said.
Her mother left her dad, taking Flores and her siblings with her because it wasn’t a good situation for the children to be in. A few years after leaving her father, Flores’ mother suddenly passed away. Getting past her mother’s death would be difficult, but Flores would strive to keep her mom’s dreams alive.After enrolling at OLLU, Flores wasted no time getting involved with the place she would call home for the next four years. She worked on campus, became President of the Sigma Zeta Math and Honor Society, and was the President of the PenPals Achieving Legacy organization that her and her roommate started together.
Despite being very involved in campus activities on top of being a biology major, Flores says she was able to manage her time well. She says she would write her schedule down and make sure she never strayed off of it. She says this tactic of organization helped her in her schooling and keep her stress levels down.
