The University of North Alabama is home to the Delores and Weldon Cole Honors College. 它的使命是为学生提供一个伟大的大学经历，转化为研究生的成功. The College is full of students with different majors, backgrounds, and aspirations.
As a student in the Cole Honors College myself, 我正在写一系列K8彩乐园其他学生的简介，以及他们在UNA的时间和作为荣誉学生是如何为下一步和未来的成功做准备的.
Yaslin Perez is a senior at UNA, and she will be graduating in May. She is majoring in political science, with a minor in legal studies. She has always wanted to study law and become an immigration attorney. She works at Solano Law Firm where she specializes in special juvenile cases, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals – DACA – renewals, advanced parole, and tourist visas.
佩雷斯说，她喜欢这份工作，因为她能够帮助她的移民社区处理他们的法律案件. In her spare time, she said she loves to read and spend time with her family. Here she is in her own words.
Q: Why did you choose to come to UNA?
A: I chose UNA because of the kind atmosphere. I knew I wanted to go to a university where the students and faculty got along well together. I also loved the campus structure. 这对我来说是完美的，因为我知道我想去一所教职员工能够在我需要的时候帮助我的大学.
Q: If you were to give your younger self advice about coming to college, what would you say?
A: I would tell myself to always keep good grades and to know when to ask for help. Planning is key to thriving in college.
Q: What drew you to Honors? Why did you want to join?
A: (荣誉)提供了许多活动，我们可以在吃美食的同时结识不同的学生，了解不同的话题.
Q: If you were to tell someone to join the Honors College, what would you say?
A: 我会告诉他们，荣誉学院为我们未来的职业生涯提供了量身定制的机会. I remember I told Dean Brewton that I wanted to go into law, 我会收到他亲自发来的电子邮件，让我知道政府有实习机会——这是我自己找不到的.
Q: How do you feel UNA is preparing you for success?
A: I believe UNA has prepared me for success because of all the different organizations on campus. I have been part of Mock Trial, 它帮助我提高了我的公共演讲技巧，并让我知道法律审判需要多少工作. 学生会协会教会了我如何倾听和为学生的福祉计划行动. My professors have always been very helpful when needed and have helped me thrive in my classes.
