Growth, challenges, and lots of learning compose my personal walk. Every step taken, whether through school, working, or in my personal life, shapes the person I am becoming. I dream of becoming a columnist, especially in opinion writing, where I can share perspectives that encourage thought and conversation. Further goals I have include continuing to grow as a communicator, connecting with people through my work, and using my skills to make a positive impact within my community. I won’t change the world overnight, but I hope the slight differences I make through kindness, understanding, and storytelling ripple outward and mean something to someone.
