Personal Statement

When I first began my education at Rose State I was shy and preferred to stay to myself. Over time I grew from a wallflower to someone who loved to be hands on with events that took place on campus. In the span of two years I became a President's Leadership Student and started a chapter of an organization called Women of Purpose on campus. While being engaged in both organizations, I was given the opportunity to recognize my passion which is working with minority youth. I wholeheartedly want to be a positive influence and have an impact on their lives. I want to show them that although the odds are stacked against them they can do anything they work hard for. I realize that I am not only doing this for myself but for those who look up to me. Being the person that I needed when I was younger is something I strive to be. The awards I have received mean nothing if I have not affected the lives of others during the process. I am extremely blessed to have a people in my life who motivate me daily. I hope to do the same for others.
