Helping people makes me “come alive“. Being actively selfless and giving back to my community gives me a purpose. Participating with a group built around loving others and volunteer work, I believe, has contributed to my drive towards mental health. The Kids Today Scholars Tomorrow group has taught me to the be the strong, independent, yet humble and selfless women I am becoming. The raw and wide-gapped smile that comes across a strangers face when they realize you are an asset to them rather than a threat makes me feel more than accomplished. I could even describe it fulfilled. I am here to serve others. Therefore as a student, I plan to have my presence leave a positive impact on every individual I meet.
