Personal Statement
2016 was my first year back in the US school system after spending four years in Nigeria. This was the worst year of my life. As a result, I was very shy and didn't talk to anyone. I barely even knew the sound of my own voice. I was able to overcome my situation and learn from it, so now, every morning, I remind myself of the power that I have. I've decided that every day, I will positively impact people around me, whether that be through volunteering, spreading awareness, or even uplifting the hearts of other individuals.
I decided that I was going to be more active in my community. So as a high school senior, I joined the student leaders at my church, and in college, I joined the student government. I am currently working to promote awareness amongst my peers in my position as Chief of Staff of PGCC and also as the head of the welcoming department at my church. I task myself with spreading awareness to people about resources that are available to help them succeed.
