My name is Khalie Riggan, a young 17-year-old African American woman hoping to change the world with such small knowledge about the world. I would love to attend a 4-year university because I want to further my education in Law studies and become a business attorney. The reason I chose this occupation is that I felt drawn to this career.I've always wanted to help people and being able to help a company and having the company rely on you for help is both intimidating and exciting. This job is not known for minorities like African Americans, nonetheless African American women. I want others to know that as minorities we can do it too. Attending a 4year university is the ultimate dream. I would be the first person in my family to attend college.I would not only make my family proud but myself proud knowing that every party I sacrificed, every hangout I sacrificed, and every school event I sacrificed was all worth it in the end. This would bring me so much joy that I could be the brag of the family that one of us made it. This would initially help encourage me and keep me focused on school and thriving to bigger things. I plan on making a positive impact using my education by encouraging other African American kids out there that "black excellence" is indeed a thing and we can all be there if we stay focused.No matter where and how it is possible. I would teach the individuals tactics to use when struggling and use key points in life to motivate them to never stop thriving. I would use myself as an example and show them even with my struggles I benefited from them and used it to help me not hurt myself. I want to show people that they can be whatever they want if they put their minds to it. Growing up I was told that we can only go so far in life because of our skin color. I was told that as minorities in this world that our best bet was a high school diploma and becoming a manager at our local cornerstone is the most we can do. I didn't like the idea of that. I felt that we shouldn't have belittled ourselves because we can't take a little challenge. I want to others with such little mindset that it is indeed impossible to think bigger and be bigger with education. Because after all, our mind is our willpower.
