Personal Statement

Growing up, I spent the summer months helping my grandmother run the Parish food pantry at our church in my hometown. Having this experience throughout my childhood hammered home the idea that every person is entitled to fulfillment of their basic human rights - whether that be a roof over their head or having three warm meals a days - regardless of whom they are or where they are from. As I got older and left home for college, my eyes were opened to the people in the university's surrounding community that live without access to their basic rights, similarly to those in my hometown growing up. These cyclical systems of poverty became a pattern I noticed in various communities, and I wanted to lead the effort of finding local solutions. Serving alongside Guadalupe Valley Habitat for Humanity with the TLU Center for Servant Leadership has allowed me to connect my peers with people in need in our community and create advocates for social change.
