"A Huge Opportunity"

Melanie Berdecia '12

Leaving rebelliousness in childhood, Berdecia '12 flourished at Cornell

The value of higher education was heightened by her family's economic hardships. Berdecia remembers a time when her family was "roaming from relatives' house to relative's house," she says. "I didn't like to be in that position, where we had to be dependent on other people, and so I wanted to make it so that my family never has to go through something like that again."
