Personal Statement

When I first arrived at William Paterson University, I never saw myself making any impact in such a limited time. After spending only a few days on campus, I made the decision to focus solely on academics. However, I found that I was succeeding with my classes and had free time to do other things. It was then that I decided to fill my free time with community service, thus unlocking my gateway into leadership and campus involvement. I was enamored by the feelings that came from giving my time to others. By my second semester, I held three leadership positions on campus, including influential positions in the Student Government Association and Alpha Kappa Psi Professional Business Fraternity. Service is a value that I hold dear to my heart and I want to continue to share my passions with everyone around me. As a Peer Leader and Pioneer Leadership Institute Mentor, I help transition first year students into college, and emphasize the importance of how developing personal leadership and being civically engaged uplifts the community. I will always aspire to create change on a macro level, it started from within and now it can only grow externally.
