Bio

I would describe myself as hardworking and determined. I believe that even if something doesn't go right the first time, I am able to try again and do better the next time. I enjoy learning, which is one of my goals. I want to obtain a Ph.D in Anthropology and become involved in Women's right's around the world. I want to be able to help those who weren't as fortunate as I was in my education. Another goal would be to become a role model to those around me. I want people to look at me and want to become better than the things I have accomplished. Ultimately, I just want to become better than I was the day before.

      Something that has always interested me would be Lucy in Charlie Brown. She has a stand that has "The doctor is in/out". That would be my unique contribution, minus the ten cent fee. I feel that when people think about mental health, there is always a negative connotation around it. That mental isn't real or it is for "crazy" people. This feeling is especially evident in the Black communities where there are typically low-income households or the same negative connotation around it. I feel like if there were a "doctor is in" program that would allow more people to feel the need to get help. Growing up, I never got therapy even though I desperately needed it for a couple of reasons. Some were the two I mentioned above and another was the fact that I was scared. I was scared that my therapist would tell other people, especially my mom, or they would think that my problems weren't "significant enough". It wasn't until later that I realized I was drowning in my own thoughts and needed to get help. I think that if there were a site or a place(s) where people can go freely and anonymously talk about their problems there would be a significant mental health increase for those people who need the support. I think as a community we need to educate the importance of mental health more and learn to make yourself a priority to see growth.
