My ultimate career aspiration and goal is to become a public or commercial architect. I will develop, design, and supervise the construction of public buildings such as shopping malls, libraries, government facilities, and homes. Although reaching my goal will bring self-satisfaction, it will also help others fulfill their dreams after I am able to create what they have envisioned. Being raised in two homes since I was 2 years old, with two educated parents, has also helped shape my life. While I feel that I am blessed in many ways, I also know that “giving back” and helping others is extremely important. As a member of Kappa League Mentoring Group for 3 years (under Kappa Alpha Psi/Stockbridge Jonesboro Chapter), I have participated in numerous of community service activities; including AIDS Walk, Relay for Life, educating others about childhood cancer (ALEKS Lemonade Stand), and tutoring and mentoring younger students. Additionally, I have helped students at a music camp during the summer, Hoops for Scholarships (basketball tournament), Strikes for Scholarships (bowling tournament), passed out coats t the homeless, served food to the hungry, and worked with other scholars (male and female) to promote excellence and school pride to all. I have even tutored older adults in college, as I was also a dual enrollment student at Clayton State University, earning 25 college hours. Oftentimes the older adults did not understand specific concepts and I would come in early or stay later and help them with math problems or labs. I also served as a mentor for the middle school students at Eagles Landing Middle School. In high school, I also participated in extracurricular activities and was recognized for many awards.
