Isabella \u201cBella\u201d Torres, an Eckerd College senior geosciences<\/a> student from Queens, New York, is well aware her background isn\u2019t typical of students in her field.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]She attended the New York Harbor School<\/a>, one of a handful of public high schools in America whose focus is solely on marine science.<\/p>\n

But Bella had to cross Brooklyn and Manhattan to get to the school, which is on Governors Island. That meant getting up before dawn and taking two trains and a ferry. She did that five days a week for nine months out of the year. For four years. But to Bella, it was worth it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat experience at the Harbor School,\u201d she says, \u201cled me to Eckerd. It just became normal. You get up at 5:30 a.m. to catch the 8 a.m. ferry to the island. And then traveling to the deepest parts of the harbor, in the middle of January, taking samples from the seafloor \u2026 somehow I found joy in that. I was putting myself in an environment where a normal New Yorker would never be.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a very different perspective, and I fell in love with it,\u201d she adds. \u201cThat\u2019s how I decided to go to Eckerd and apply to the marine science program<\/a>. When I was getting acceptance letters, most of them were from colleges in the Northeast.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”left-right” top_margin=”48″ bottom_margin=”48″ right_margin=”16″ column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” el_class=”lg_text” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\u201cBut Eckerd had a completely different vibe.

Bella\u2019s mom, Joann Fernandez, is a single parent from the Dominican Republic. \u201cShe\u2019s raising my younger brother and me on her own,\u201d Bella says. \u201cShe\u2019s always making sure I\u2019m on my game and that everything is stable. She works a 9-to-5 job and also runs a small business selling homemade cookies and ice creams based on recipes inspired by the Dominican\/Brooklyn culture she grew up on. Any way to make money. She\u2019s always working, and I really admire her for that.

But there is a replacement trip to the Bahamas planned for Spring Break\u2014Cultural and Natural Environments of the World: Bahamas, which will be led by Professor of Marine Science and Geosciences Gregg Brooks, Ph.D.<\/a>, and Marine Science Instructor Rebekka Larson \u201901, Ph.D.<\/a> Bella is signed up.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had no idea she had made such an extraordinary effort to get a great education, and one that specialized in marine science,\u201d says Professor of Marine Science and Geosciences Laura Wetzel, Ph.D.<\/a>, Bella\u2019s mentor. \u201cThat\u2019s amazing.<\/p>\n

\u201cBella took my Earth Structure course in Spring 2021, and she would stay in class long after others had finished the lab work. I don\u2019t think it ever occurred to her that she could leave her work unfinished. She has a dogged determination that I have rarely seen in others.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Bella\u2019s mentor, beyond talking to her about classes, I have listened to her describe her family. As the first member of her family to go to college, she wants to make them all proud, especially her mother. I credit Bella, and her family, for being so positive and determined when it would be easy to quit in the face of adversity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m definitely glad I took two trains and a ferry to get here,\u201d Bella adds. \u201cEckerd not only gifted me amazing friends but has encouraged me to step out of what I\u2019m typically used to.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
