About (request update)

I never give up. Most of my middle school experience was spent in a hospital bed having 5 hip surgeries, & fighting a septic infection, & some of my high school years were spent up all night writhing in pain. Instead of complaining I did what I had to do to be able to work again. All these "unfortunate" things made me stronger, so I guess in the end they were for my good. Nobody can tell me that I can't do something. I don't take no for an answer & there is always a way. I went from not being able to walk for 2 years to being on the Varsity Track & Field team & being co-captain of my schools step team. If I can get through what I got through I can do anything & I can encourage others along the way.

Life & Professional Aspirations:

I am going to be the 1st African American female court judge. I am going to be one of the greatest who breaks black & sexist shackles. Black women are beautifully exotic, but we are more than our pretty complexions, waist lines, & curves. We are not objects. Without women men who so-call run the world wouldn't even be here. We are creatures of complexity who can do anything. I want to be the one who not only shares this with young black girls everywhere, but shows them through being a female Thurgood Marshall.

Best Memories:

My best high school memory for the most part involve singing. I struggled in high school because I had just had my 5th hip surgery & I am so diverse it is hard for people to understand me & all through-out school students & even teachers tried to confine me. Singing was always my way out. of stress & heart-ache. My friends & I all composed our own version of the national anthem that had a jazz & R&B twist to it. We were asked to sing it at the boys 1st basketball game of the season. The fact that we could create such a masterpiece with a mix of chords that left people in a silent trance at such a young age gave me life.
