Join us as Zakia Mahabub, LaGuardia Community College (LAGCC) alumna and Student Success Mentor, takes us on her journey of unexpected setbacks, finding motivation to learn and grow, and using that drive to inspire and support others in her role as a mentor. While harnessing a deep desire to reach her personal goals, she mentors LAGCC students to embrace the campus community, their identity as students, and the notion that everyone--regardless of their background--belongs and can succeed. “If I just gather my skills and if I keep my confidence, I can move forward. There's nothing that can stop me if I'm true to myself.”
