Personal Statement
I am a pre-education major with a passion for teaching and impacting the lives of young children. As a recipient of the President's Leadership Scholarship, an active member in Student Senate, and President of the T.E.A.C.H. Club, I have been provided with many opportunities to change the lives of elementary students in our community. Through T.E.A.C.H. Club I was able to run a book drive for the students at Willow Brook Elementary, as well as a school supply drive that provided 245 students with brand new backpacks and school supplies to start the 2015-2016 school years. Being a member of Student Senate presented me with the opportunity to chair an event that allowed the first graders at Rose State's adopted elementary schools, Telstar and Willow Brook, to venture out from their everyday routine. The students were given the chance to do crafts, meet Rumble the Bison, and select a book from the Rolling Thunder Book Bus. Each event has taught me the importance of community involvement in the lives of underprivileged children. I am thankful for the opportunities I have been provided and plan to continue my community involvement after college.
