Carlos: Earlier this morning, I was actually taking my graduation photos. And at one point, the girl shows me one of the photos of me standing in front of South Building with my tassel and everything. And it kind of hit me. Host: That was Carlos Perez-Heydrich. Smith Center. Carlos: It means a culmination of a lot of things in a way.
Coming to Carolina in the first place was leaving Miami, a place that was always my home, and my family is still there. It was kind of my way to find myself a bit. There was a lot of influence around me in Miami.
So you go be a doctor or go into business or do real estate. And I felt that going away and finding myself and finding my own path was really important to me. Host: Carlos is most looking forward to spending time with his family this weekend and showing them around Chapel Hill, his adopted home.
She actually drove up and moved me into my new room this year. My parents dropped me off of course. The leaves are changing. It feels like a home. Earlier this morning, I was actually taking my graduation photos. My goals for each year are definitely taking different focus. From my first year, just what is my support group?
Or what am I taking here? What am I research? What I want to pursue at an academic level and contribute to a project. The friends I made first year are still the best friends I have today.
