Most days, Donald Zárate wakes up before the sun to exercise or go on a hike, carrying a weighted 45-pound backpack.

他的余下时间都在加州大学里弗赛德大学的博士学位上充满了课程,在UCR国家政治学荣誉学会主席或担任研究生助理的会议上。目前,Zárate还与UCR的后备官员培训团(ROTC)一起志愿者,学习如何成为一名官员并帮助学员改善他们作为美国陆军士兵的社交化。 Occasionally he also joins his Honor Guard colleagues who volunteer at military funerals at Riverside National Cemetery.

It’s a slice of Zárate’s life as a political science student and staff sergeant in the U.S. Army Reserve.他的计划是成为西点的美国军事学院的政治理论教授,这个目标结合了一个渴望在高中出现的愿望,对他在诺科学院(Norco College)参加的课程充满了对历史和政治的热情。

“我希望在武装部队中服役的愿望是我的信念是,如果某人住在某个地方,他们应该愿意在需要时为社区提供帮助,” 27岁的Zárate说,他在2023年获得了政治学和心理学的双重UCR学士学位。

While he was a student at Norco College, Zárate grew to love academia.

“We were learning about the Roman Empire and what interested me was how Romans structured their government,” he said. “从本质上讲,他们使用心理学来操纵群体将他们安抚成屈服。作为自闭症谱系的一个人,班级帮助我了解人们与众不同,没关系。这是使我个人,整个人的一部分。”

Owning your story is crucial, Zárate said.
