Knowing he wanted to advocate for people like his mother, Ariz joined Sacramento City College’s (SCC) Allied Health Learning Community just two weeks after he graduated from high school (the first in his family to do so). In fact, Ariz was his mother’s sole caregiver throughout high school and still is. After his family escaped the Taliban regime in Afghanistan and migrated to America as refugees, Ariz and his mother have been trying to make a go of it, despite mom’s disabling poor health, financial difficulty, and little encouragement. He’s essentially been one since he was 14. It’s no wonder why Ariz wanted to become a nurse. Ariz’s accomplishments are admirable, but what is outright inspiring is how he overcomes his extreme circumstances, follows his inner compass that always points positive, and makes a remarkable journey each day to get through school. His career path is set and he is well on his way to achieving it. "Throughout it all, Ariz gives nothing but credit to the professors at SCC whom he says truly care about him and his experience, especially when life almost became too much to bear."Īriz Ebrat Alum / Nurse / Sacramento City CollegeĪriz Ebrat has an associate degree in nursing, is a registered nurse and a full-time student at Sacramento State.
