Bio

Hi, my name is Matt. I have aspirations to help those who face hardships and challenges. I am pursuing a degree that will provide me with skills and resources to support others. People need to be of service. Charles Dickens once said, "No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another." I have endured great adversity and obstacles since the age of eleven. I have been inspired by people who have persevered while facing insurmountable hardships. Attaining a college degree is a top priority for me. Be loving. Be compassionate. Be involved in your community. Help others. Inspire others. Keep going. These are the values that have been passed on to me that continue to shape my life and goals. Thank you so much for your consideration.
