My name is Ronyale Wilson, I am 17 years old and I go to Georgia Chaffee TAPP High School. I have a 1-year-old daughter, and her name is Khalani. She is the love of my life. I am planning to attend Western Kentucky University or the University of Louisville. I am going to major in nursing or social work. I would like to be a nurse or social worker because I enjoy helping others. I am also interested in working in an office environment at some point in my career. My biggest strengths are that I am very detail-oriented and a very determined, loving person. I believe these strengths will help me in college, as well as in life in general. It has been extremely difficult trying to balance my school life, personal life, and life as a single parent. Sometimes I feel like I can't balance everything, but my daughter gives me inspiration to achieve and push forward. It has been extremely hard since I lost my child's father when I was pregnant. That event has had a really big impact on my life. For a while, I had a hard time dealing with his death. It is still hard to imagine, but each day it gets a little easier. In overcoming this loss, I have been focused on being the best parent I can be. I want my career to have a positive effect on those around me. It also made me think about causes that are important to me and how I will help my community. I am passionate about improving the level of homelessness in my community. I plan to make a difference in the lives of people who don't have a place to live or can't afford to feed their families. I am looking forward to owning a food truck to give back to the poor community at no cost. I would like to reach single-parent families mostly. I plan to partner with the Dare To Care organization for extra community support and resources. I would like for this food truck business to be something that my daughter could take over to do also. I love seeing people happy and smiling. It brings me joy and happiness to know that I can have a positive effect on people. I plan to make people in need smile by providing them food and other necessities they need to improve their quality of life.
