Personal Statement
Early in my college career, I realized my purpose and passion: to serve others, to use my privilege to aid other groups of people who may not enjoy the same liberties I have, and to act as an inspiration for other people and to encourage others share their own voices.
Millersville lit passion in me. I would like to do the same thing in my community and inspire future generations to continue that legacy.
On campus, I am active in The Color of Teaching Mentoring Program (COT). COT provides students (in grades 7-12) of color, first generation students, and others, a college mentor whose purpose is to guide and support.
I am a member of the Walker Fellowship, a cohort of students that encourage civic engagement by hosting a variety of different events such as Congress to Campus that brings former members of the U.S. Congress to campus to speak to students. We host a variety of events throughout the year encouraging students to vote and get involved in their government. I see it as my duty to alleviate some challenges and disadvantages people face, so they have the opportunity to blossom into the best versions of themselves.
