About her connection to Broward College, Thara says: “I was originally a dual-enrolled student and once I graduated, I received a full-ride scholarship to BC which I am incredibly grateful to have received. I took part in my clubs and organizations within the school such as the Honors Student Committee, Science Club, Phi Theta Kappa, and more. I was able to be a part of various volunteering opportunities such as the Breast Cancer Walk, MLK Day of Service, and Earth Day. I was also able to participate in projects including the Butterfly Garden and helping build a weather station. I also had the opportunity to be a part of the Connect4Success program which allowed an admission to FIU where I successfully graduated in 2021 with my bachelor's in Chemistry and minor in Biology. Broward College has helped me grow a lot as a person and many of the skills I learned continue to be impactful in my life.”
