Personal Statement

I have always been passionate about social issues such as civic engagement and addressing the issue of homelessness. Involvement in the political processes is imperative to a well-functioning society and I find college is a crucial time to build those values. As a member of the Executive Committee in Student Government Association, I have a platform to encourage involvement in the political processes in the broader community as well as on campus. Through multiple registration drives, I have helped register hundreds of students to vote and engage in meaningful political discussions. I have also been able to work with Night Light Tulsa for two years in providing resources to the homeless community of Tulsa. Working with this organization has broadened my perspective and increased my passion for helping the homeless. It is important to offer not only resources, but also personal relationship and community to the homeless and low-income families that attend every week. Material resources are necessary of course, but to sit down and ask them questions about their life, family, dreams, etc. is a whole other experience. My goal is to offer them human connection and conversation, recognizing them as the valuable individuals they are.
