About ME!!****
I live at home with my mother and my sister in Jonesboro, Ga. I was born in Griffin, Georgia; moved to College Park, and raised in Clayton County after the age of 4. My father left when I was 3 years old and i have yet to hear from him. I feel that I had a life like Barak Obama! What I mean by this is I feel my life was more shaped by my fathers absence than it was his presence. Him not being in my life allowed me the opportunity to see what i didn't need in anymay in my life which was a run-away and it also showed me how strong my mother was to raise to girls on her own with one job struggling. I learn to care for myself as i got older with the help of God all along the way. I grew up in the church. The life that i grew up in wasnt glitz and glamour but I perseverred through it all and made it. I made a way for myself without the excuses that most people give. I'm living proof that GOD does work miracles.

How I found my lifes dream!:***
I have initially majored in Accounting but am thinking about changing my major to Pre- Med. As a young girl I always said I wanted to help people not only in America but in other countries as well. I was watching the National Geographic Channel and saw a documentary on Cleft Lip with affects 1:5 children across the world. I felt like I had found my calling. Along with other documentaries on the famin in African made me want to become a doctor to give children born into poverty and these inevitable situations the chance to live a happy, "normal lifestlye without worry.

My Interview Question

If life is full of new beginnings, what is a new beginning to you?

Current Whereabouts:

Singing, Dancing, Writing Poetry, Math, My neices and Nephews are my world

Life & Professional Aspirations:

I want to become a doctor, more so a surgeon. However, Just a doctor in anyway would give me complete gratification because some doctors don't realize the gift they possess to change someones life and they healing potential they have along with the help of GOD and faith! I want to be one of the doctors who DOES know their worth!
