<p>I love community service and always want to advocate for the common good so I would love to major in legal studies or history. To be evident to my passion, I volunteer for an organization called Youth Court in which the volunteers are attorneys for teens who've committed first-time misdemeanor crimes, Ive been apart of this program for about 4 years now. Also, I am organizing and collecting books from local libraries to send to deprived children in Awlaw, Nigeria as well as organizing "Jammin for Joplin" inorder to help raise money for the tornado disaster in Joplin, MO.
both my parents have english as their second language, but i wouldn't be the first one to go to college.
Some special awards I've gotten include:
- a Presidential Service award [bronze]
- two other Presidential Service Awards [silver]
- My school also offers academic awards based on a GPA greater than 3.65 throughout the school year so I've received numerous of those.
-Vice President of the NAACP youth council in my area.
