Sondos Elbershawi – Class of 2016

Sondos earned her B.A. in Political Science from the University of California, Los Angeles, and is now attending law school at the University of California, Irvine.

New Horizon has really helped me to create and solidify my sense of self and identity, especially as a Muslim Egyptian in America. It is rare in professional settings to come across someone who shares the same identity as me, and I think it is important that I was raised to be strong and confident in my belief system so that I do not find my beliefs waver when tested, nor do I feel insecure nor the need to hide when it comes to sharing my beliefs. I am excited to (inshaAllah) graduate law school & come back to help serve the community that I owe so much of my success to.
