In an interview granted to Univision With Youwhich was shared by the young man’s mother in FacebookNúñez-Sosa explained that “I went into the applications very hard because I felt that this was the moment to put everything I had into it, although I knew it was going to be very hard.”
Regarding receiving the acceptance letters, he said that at that time he did not believe what was happening: “I first opened some that said no to prepare myself”.
His parents were an important source of inspiration, assured the virtuous young man. “I grew up working with them, and through so much work, he motivated me to do my part to get ahead.”
Núñez-Sosa explained that he also owes his parents the way he is, his way of behaving, and his orientation to the Catholic faith.

In the opinion of the recent graduate, those who have made a great sacrifice for her to rise as a winner in the United States have been her parents, who gave up their professional careers and emigrated to give her the opportunity to have a better future.
