About (request update)

I am a person who desires to be successful. Through a background of lack of opportunity due to socioeconomic standards, it took me until my sophomore year in high school to really become serious with pursuing a career. Since then, I've been extremely ambitious with trying to achieve goals that would propel me to grow and be more attractive in the workforce later on. I strive to work to the best of my abilities and I believe my accomplishments reflect that. My dream is to become a community leader. I aspire to bring community together through works of serving, building, and expanding. With an economics background, I want to pursue a career in politics and become a local politician and help community grow. To bring people together to encourage bonding to become one central unit. A family. I believe in the people, and I want to enable the people's potential through proper, ethical leadership that I'm currently developing through my College career and other professional experiences.

Current Whereabouts:

Scuba Diving, Caving, Wrestling, Phi Kappa Tau fraternity, Student Government Association, Economics, Business Administration, Leadership development, Mentoring, Volunteering, Community building.

Life & Professional Aspirations:

I want to pursue any career that allows me to be a leader. Whether it be a dream of becoming a politician, or in any other area in life that I may be able to exceed my potential. I believe in the power of coming together, and expanding as one. As a politician or a community leader of some sort, I believe in enabling opportunities for people for the short and long term for the better of society as a whole.
