Pursuing a career as a real estate agent is not merely an occupation but rather a profound passion and my deliberate choice of profession. In my second year of high school, I started volunteering with an organization called the Ebenezer Temple Access to Recovery Collaboration (ET-ARC). ET-ARC is a philanthropic initiative that offers counseling, housing support, vocational education, parenting workshops, and food aid to individuals facing hardship. Over the course of my 8-year tenure at ET-ARC, I have occupied diverse roles such as receptionist, youth activity coordinator, and housing support agent. While I find satisfaction in all aspects of the program, my greatest enthusiasm lies in the role of a housing support agent. As part of my role, I establish connections with clients by securing funding and identifying suitable housing options. I became aware of the organization when my family received assistance from them following the loss of our home in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike. Having personally endured homelessness and witnessed the accompanying repercussions, I am driven to assist others in surmounting these obstacles. I possess firsthand experience in managing housing instability and aim to offer assistance to individuals who have encountered this difficulty, as well as those who are striving to realize their aspiration of owning a home. My objective is to provide the necessary support to help them attain stability and pursue their personal goal of homeownership.
