I plan on going to college and obtaining a degree in Environemental Biology. My aspiration in life is to work in a field that helps the environment by creating or maintaining sustainable ways that ensures its thrive.
Growing up as a first generation low-income person with a single dad, I had to rely on my community. My community helped me thrive during tough times and even gave me rides to and from school.
Being able to go to school (thanks to my community) and taking the hardest classes that my ambitious self wanted, I was able to discover my love of Environmental Science. It was my first and only class that truely inspired me to give back to my community by trying to protect and maintain it.
I crotchet reusable bags for my family and friends to reuse. It is a small step but a step nonetheless within my powers that will help sustainably maintain my community.
I hope to one day be able to do more to help my community by searching for ways to further maximize our effiency of our finite resources, or becoming a teacher that gets to encourage sustainability and fill others with the same love that I have about Environmental Science.
