All of my accomplishments and honors attest to my confidence and strong work ethic showing I’m taking all the right steps “preparing for a better tomorrow.”
One thing about me is I strive to make a difference and stand out. You see, I come from Camden, NJ a city that is looked down upon from the high violence and high-school drop out rates. Many people sometimes let past bad experiences or hardships deter them from success. They take failures and disappointments and wear it as a badge, instead of putting a shield over it and accomplishing what others may think that they can not. Being confidante within yourself allows you to set goals far and beyond what is expected of you. No one is in control of my destiny but me, and it’s my job as a strong, black, young and educated woman to set a prime example to show many that if you do come from the quote on quote “ghetto” that is not a hindrance that is preventing me from making my dreams come true. It just something that is going to make it even more special and worthwhile when (key word WHEN) you make it to the top.
