Born Emmanuella Boachie in Kumasi, Ghana, I have grown to aspire to a future in which I am constantly evolving. I have dreamed of being a teacher, an advocate, a journalist, a human rights/criminal justice lawyer, among others. I had previously perceived that to succeed; I could only pursue a single aspiration. Today, I understand that one can be a "jack of all trades" and still "master" more than one. That being said, I take pleasure in reading, writing, hiking, drawing, and occasional dance parties. I enjoy conversations that stimulate and push me to see the world clearly. Above all else, I live with the understanding that what I am not changing, I am accepting, and thus, I appreciate my ability to utilize agency and practice discernment. At present, I have recently graduated from my community college as an Honors Scholar with distinction in English, French, and History. I received five "Student Excellence Awards" and broke the school's record for the highest number of honors contracts completed by a graduating student.  Today, I am looking to transfer to a four-year college to pursue a baccalaureate degree in International Relations, English, and History. Life is easier now with the right amount of active curiosity and community. Thus, I am interested in organizations such as "Barrio Assistance" at Stanford, Fordham's "Leading Women of Tomorrow," Brown's "Political Review," and the "LPE Society" on whichever campus. Through these institutions, my thirst for equity, enlightenment, and ingenuity will be whetted, and my passions will propel me toward my dreams.
