At 17, civil engineering major Asma Khan will be the youngest student to graduate from Portland State University this weekend. ✌️ . The topic of Khan’s age never comes up with her classmates. “None of them really have any idea,” she says. . . Born in California, Khan moved to Portland as a small child and was homeschooled for most of her primary school years. She skipped “a couple of grades” along the way and entered an early college program in high school that allowed her to complete her high school credits at community college. Khan enrolled in PCC at 13 and entered PSU at 16, completing her final two years toward a bachelor’s degree in @mcecs_pdx. . . . “In my two years of attending PSU as a fully veiled Muslim woman, I never once encountered a hostile incident or ever felt unwanted,” Khan says. “My teachers, advisors, and classmates were the most welcoming, friendly and helpful people, and I am thankful to them for making this journey so much easier and memorable for me.” . . . . #2019PDXGrad #portlandstate #proudviks #goviks #portlandstateuniversity #fearlessPSU #graduaton #go2PSU #onlyatPSU #PSUtopia #commencement

Sappy Mom Moment: My momma didn’t earn a college degree (she was busy raising strong minded children) but always told me I WOULD go to college. In fact, I didnt have the option - I was going to earn that Bachelors no matter what - even if it meant being big & pregnant my entire senior year at the UofO. As a first gen, I remember writing in my admissions essay to PSU’s College of Education that I never considered myself one for graduate school, though. I didn’t think I had the intelligence or discipline to be successful amongst the rigor of graduate coursework. After I got pregnant with Deon in 2016 though, it no longer mattered. I found that same mentality my mom also advocated about in myself. I was bound and determined to earn a Masters’ Degree, even if I wasn’t ‘smart’ enough or disciplined enough. I was going to get this degree for Deon and be successful for him. I look back on all the changes that have happened in the last two years, and that is the one thing that has remained the same - my deep determination to abundantly provide for my sweet prince. I already have plans to continue my education, earn my EdD at PSU, and its all for Deon. So few women of color can call themselves Doctors, and I want D to have that strong role model in his life, so he won’t have to experience that ambiguity and lack of clarity, confidence and community that I experienced as a first gen. Im so excited for myself for finishing this 2nd degree, but more excited for the long term implications it will have on my little baby’s future. Blubbering over.

As many of my close friends know, I immigrated to the U.S at the age of five. The transition to a new culture was difficult, especially because of the language barriers that I was constantly facing in my academics. I felt like giving up so many times but what always kept me going was remembering why my parents brought us to this country in the first place. Even after 17 years, I still have those negative thoughts in my head, especially now since I’m entering the world of professionals. I have to constantly remind myself that I belong here and that I deserve this as much. I have had to work 3x harder to prove my worth but that’s exactly what has kept me striving and wanting more. For anyone else that needs to here this ¡SI SE PUEDE! Don’t let anything bring you down. Special thanks to my mom and sister who have been major reasons of why I am extremely motivated to be a badass Latina. Also thanks to: Diseños Exclusivos Lupita for my custom made beautiful dress (located in Tonalá Jalisco Mexico). & @laloteriastore for my custom made graduation design (Located in California & Etsy). #ClinicalSocialWorkMajor #2019pdxgrad #educatedlatina #portlandstateuniversity #Mexicana #Tapatia
