From Cardboard to Brick It was a cool night in October of 2011 when I was told that I was in a close race with a classmate for the number one spot in the class. She was beating me because her classes weighted more than mine, so I decided that year to do everything that was in my power to beat her to it. All it took me was one class and it was my strongest class that year. She got a grade below me and that was enough to beat her. But it was not until I was in 12th grade, a week before…

I had forgotten to plug my laptop up that morning and by the time I had gotten home from school it had died. I wanted to check my Facebook before my parents got home. I always remembered to delete the computer history. They did not like Facebook and had said I did not need to have one. It was three days before my eighteenth birthday.…

You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go…” (Seuss). And while this quote can serve as a motivator for children to have dreams and be self reliant, all too often, this is the outlook of public officials on the education of racial and…

As I reflect on my leadership journey, I think that I have made slow, gradual progress, but progress nonetheless. When I was little, I tended to deliberately blend into the background and have others do things for me. Then, as I got older, took on new responsibilities, and developed my passions and interests, I started to also develop my leadership skills. Today, I am still a quiet, timid person, but I am working on stepping out of my comfort zone. Ever since I was little, I have always…
