As a result, of becoming more aware, I will further understand how I want to make an impact. You cannot effectively change things for the better if you are not aware of the people and events that occur in your community. Capstone will hold my hand in the process of both fulfilling my promise and figuring out who I want to be.

My values are at the core of who I am, and could be the foundation of my plan to make an impact in my community and better the world. Values and impact go hand in hand, there isn’t a time in history where the impact differs from the beliefs of the person who is making the difference. This program is the missing piece of the unfinished puzzle that fulfilling my promise.

Thirdly, it will give guidance about who I should be. Last but definitely not least, I will finally have a clearer answer for all those adults that asked me, “What do you want to be when you grow
