About

Hello, I´m an undergraduate student at Eastern Illinois University. I am pursuing my bachlors degree in Political Science: Internaional Relations with a minor in Pre-Law and German. I love to travel, although I haven´t been to many places, but when I can then I go. I enjoy debating political topics from domestic to foreign policy. I work hard because I don´t want to be part of satistic or sterotype of black females. Most importantly, I do my best for my mother. My mother did not get the chance to get a higher education, but I am. Everything she went through for me and my sisters will not be in vain. I also like social networking, it helps build connections and open the individual´s mind to others and their beliefs and culture.
