Bio

I am a Black woman going through life dealing with mental health, depression, and everything life seemed to continue to throw in my face. I can never seem to be able to catch a break with my mind self sabotaging my whole life at every corner. I can't seem to find a job while having bills and my tuition accumulating together. I just need a break. Some help to cover my education will help me have a better chance of having a high-paying job. So I can provide for myself while I am trying to pay for everything by myself. Going through everything by myself doesn’t help with stress. My mental health is going through it while I try to be happy and be upbeat because I still have to keep going to create generational wealth for the future generation; for my future generation. I hope to be able to have multiple businesses all owned by me and to be able to be more free so I can live a bolder life than the life I am already living. With the help of scholarships, I feel like I can make my dreams come true.

    Adversity is literally just a fancy word for “my life sucks". We all go through hardships in life to get to that moment of great happiness. Good things require going through obstacles so you can see that beautiful rainbow in the sky or get your dream car you have been wanting forever but wasn’t financially stable earlier on in life. Let me tell you my great adversity that only led to greater. Picture this: a 16-year-old without a license nor money looking online for her dream car. A car that she can call hers. Now this 16-year-old has always wanted a mustang ever since she was 6. This little girl didn’t know much about cars all she knew was that her car had to be a mustang. As she was scrolling through all the cars on the car website, she found it. A 2016 Ford Mustang and it was even in her favorite color: red: Saying, “This is my car". She had to have it but when she looked at the price it her joy went away fast. The car cost about 20,000 dollars with no job getting that car looked like a really far away dream. This girl wasn’t no regular girl. She was strong, resilient, and most of all determined. And still is. She didn’t let not having a job stop her so, after looking at the car website she started looking online for jobs and began applying to jobs hoping to get a call back. Waiting for so long can make anyone anxious and worried but she was a woman of God and knew that her faith will get her through. After waiting for 2 months not only did, she get 1 call back but also 3 call backs from the jobs she applied to. She thought it over and only accepted two of the jobs that called her back. She worked the two jobs for a year and a half by that time she saved all the money she earned and was able to finally purchase her dream car and was able to call it her own. This woman is me I worked my butt off to get my dream car. And since I was able to get one of my dreams, I wanted to help other be able to accomplish their dreams as well. So, I gave some of the money I saved after buying my car and gave it to those in need. This was my adversity and I managed to help others overcome theirs. I want to help my community more by obtaining a higher education.
