About (request update)

What makes me special is my unique personality. I would love to get along with everyone but I know that isn't possible. I just love to help people and sometimes people may take advantage of that, but I just give it to the universe.

Current Whereabouts:

I love to read and write. I volunteer time to time at a nonprofit organization in my community and have been since 2010.

Life & Professional Aspirations:

I aspire to be a good role model for my children, first and foremost. I would like to be an activist in my community. My dream career has always been a Registered Nurse and if I stay on track, it could become reality.

Education (request update)

Other College... class of 2013

Undergrad Major: Nursing

Claim To Fame:

I am 25 years old and I am striving to rise above the statistics I have been surrounded by my whole life. I've spent the last 15 years of my life with no mother or father figure. I have been through more than anyone could imagine and I'm still standing strong. I have a purpose and it's bigger than life.

Most Memorable Moment:

I worked as a Campus Ambassador and it was the greatest thing meeting iconic people from the community and networking with all sorts of people! I have met so many people that I can actually call my real friends, it's amazing!

High School: Independence High School in San Francisco, CA class of 2006

Activities & Accomplishments:

I was happy to pass the GED test because I had been emancipated and moved out on my own. I would have loved to get my diploma but passing my GED testing really made me proud of myself.

Best Memories:

I had a very hard time in high school because of issues at home and within myself. I loved school, in grade school, I was always on the Honor Roll,straight A student but some personal things happened and I was depressed for a long time. But, I am enjoying myself so much in college.It's a great feeling to learn new things everyday.
