Eva Gregg, an Alaska Native, University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) alumna, and Social Worker, shares a deeply moving personal journey she has confronted head on and documented in her UAA ePortfolio, “Eva’s Life Journey.” Her story is poignant to say the least, and so we take this time to share with you a journey of resiliency, perseverance, and rising above in order to give back. “My story will die if I don't tell it. It's a story of lots of pain, lots of victories, lots of experiences. Each and every one of those instances or pivotal moments have shaped me into the woman that I am today. And if I took one of those things away--whether it be a good experience or awful experience--then I wouldn't be who I am today.”
