Leyla Hosendorf is my name. I am a scholar, athlete, and a hometown girl from the unforgettable city of Philadelphia. I am currently a Freshman at Hampton University studying Psychology with a minor in Teaching. To be a psychiatrist is my life goal. I want to be a "change maker" in someone's life and in this society. If I'm not on the volleyball court serving up wins with the Intramural team, I'm studying extremely hard in the library. My days are long, but I still manage to enjoy the "Pirate" festivities of Hampton. I will be joining the psychology club, am currently seeking to hold a position in student leadership, and am an active participant in the West Indian Culture Club. I hope to make lifelong relationships with future colleagues. My friends are key to my happy days, but my family and God are key to my happy life. I love them with everything I have. Life is hard some days, but "push through" is my mantra! If the Lord allows me to see each day, I plan to always continue to be my authentic self in everything I do.
