I am a student who is dedicated to his and other rural communities through my continued involvement in clubs such as 4-H, FBLA, and Beta Club while in high school. This consistency of service and involvement has remained throughout my first semester in college at Oberlin, as I joined the board of the Black Student Union, became a mentor through 4-H for multiple HBCUs, and served in multiple ways through my new community, which mainly consisted of food service for those who need it, all while being a worker in my college town's local middle school. As a student with autism, advocacy has been one of the most important lessons that I have learned within my academic career by balancing social and academic pressures while staying true to my goals as I continue my journey through college.
