Education (request update)

Bowie State University class of 2008

Undergrad Major: Social Work

Claim To Fame:

My Claim to fame during college I would really love to volunteer to work in a nursing home at first my major was nursing but I changed it to social work I can still volunteer and help people either way. I' ve always loved caring for a loved one, dear friend and even someone who was very well in need. It gives me a cause of comfort, stability, and benevolence. Not only becasue I'm helping someone, but I'm also feeling that I am making a differnce in my community. Claim to fame after college I would love to still work in a nursing home part time as well as in a hospital. I would like to become a Pediatrician or an Obstetrics in Nursing. While pusuing my career I would also like to engage in giving back to the community and HBCU's by donating money or even having a scholarship to help African American Students have another oppurtunity to be able to pay for college and pursue their life long dream of becoming what they always wanted to be.

Most Memorable Moment:

My most memorable moment in college was when I was introduced to what real work really is and understaning what hard work is really about. I know English shouldn't be such a hard subject, but since it has never really been introduced or been a daily experience for me in high school, adjusting to writng essays was a hardship and a downfall for me. Failing every essay, I took the initiative to go to my professor and ask her to have one-one work hours. Having an essay due every other day has really strengthen my skills of writing essay, I was so stressed because I never thought I would get through it. I mean I cried and cried, as every one says practice makes perfect and it sure did.

High School: H.D. Woodson Senior High School in , class of 2003

Best Memories:

My most memorable event was being accepted by the National Honor Society and the Hoop Dreams Scholarship Fund. This was important because it recognized my achievement and showed that my hard work had good results.
