I have wanted to do something great in life for as long as I can remember. It started as wanting to become a movie star to become the first black female president. I knew I had to make a difference and change my family's name. I tried to do everything I could, but just like every legend, I ran into shortcomings. I realized my family wasn't like the others. I didn't have a father, and my mom worked minimum wage jobs since she had us so young. We didn't have the things other children had and got bullied because of this. I would try my best not to get upset, but sometimes I did, and I would have to go to the counselor's office. This pulled me farther from my peers because not only was I poor, but I was also unstable. This changed when I moved schools so I could start over. Once, I was expected by the cool kid's group. I started to lose sight of my future. I would justify myself and say, "You can pay for college anyhow," and "No one in your family took school seriously." I let my grades slip and barely attended school. My mom didn't pay attention because she developed a drug problem. So, I didn't have a plan for after high school. I didn't plan on graduating. Reality finally kicked in when I moved schools again and got around the right people. I realized there were ways to pay for college. I started taking school seriously again and even explored career fields. I wanted to make a difference and change my family's reputation. I decided I wanted to be a part of law enforcement. I researched everything that could help me in that career. I have been to camps and multiple trainings. I kept digging deeper and saw a place for me in politics. What started as being a part of the student council turned into wanting to become the first black female president. I know it is nothing like being student body president, but I want to change the world, and what better way to do that than to become the people's voice? Even though my life hasn't been the best, I continue to strive for greatness and hope to one day make history books. I'm going to start my career off working as a police officer and then becoming America's President.
