I have spent the majority of my life watching my father’s garment business grow from a small shop in Santee Alley to a large warehouse on Broadway Street. Over the years‚ I have learned a lot about the culture of the inner city; I have had the opportunity to see the differences between my life growing up in Santa Monica and the life of the struggling families and homeless people who live downtown. Motivated by this to devote the majority of my high-school career to community service‚ I realize that

“I want to be a ballerina princess”. You see‚ the difference between a regular princess and a ballerina princess is the elegance.

Soon enough‚ ballet performances and Disney movies about princesses clouded my practicality with absurd idealism. Growing up and realizing that pursuing my career as a princess was

The thought of not furthering my education was never an option for my siblings and I. From a young age we were told that the only way to succeed in this world is to work hard and be kind. I believe that furthering my education will help in both of these areas for a couple of reasons. Attending a very diverse university such as Mizzou will provide me the opportunity to meet new people and experience what the world has to offer other than the small sample of it that I get in Monroe City. I will also

One year ago my life changed forever through a spectacular event‚ childbirth. I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. I have always wondered‚ what do I want to do the most in my life and where do I aspire to be? My experience has helped me answer that question.

The role of a midwife is diverse and unique

Howard University Howard University is a private school that was founded/ created in 1867. 7‚147 people haven’t graduated from there. It is in Washington D.C. This is in Virginia. This school has 33% male and 67% female. I think this is very impressive because‚ since I am a girl‚ this is a very great thing. It shows that women are taking more responsibility in their lives. At first I thought Black Colleges would be bad because they have a separate college for black people and usually black people

I’ve excelled in academics because of my strong work ethic and dedication to success. I owe a lot to my experience in AFJROTC.
