Maribel grew up in the South Bronx. She wasn't thinking about college. When she went to high school, she joined the debate team. Through debate, Maribel found herself and secured a full-ride POSSE scholarship to Franklin &Marshall. This year, she earned a Fulbright Scholarship and will serve as a cultural Ambassador to Venezula. 

What was the topic of the essay she wrote to win the Fulbright?

How debate transformed her life.
