WinnerBio
Hello everyone, My name is Yvonne, and I have a series of life goals. One of my goals is to leave an impact on those I come across. I want to be known as someone who is understanding, compassionate, or even just someone who can make you laugh. I want to continue to further my education and evolve as a person at the prestigious Spelman College. I don't want my knowledge to only be for my own self-benefit; I would like to pass down what I know to others. I want to make enough money to help those who are underprivileged, abused, etc. I want to be the voice for those who have been silenced. I want to make sure I treat everyone equally and make smart choices. I am most passionate about writing. I have always loved writing. I use writing to cope or have fun. I love to write poems and stories in my free time, and I just let my creative imagination run free. I also love to draw and create beautiful art. Similarly, I love braiding people's hair because it's almost like creating art with their hair. Another hobby of mine is research. Whether it's research on a burning question or keeping up with current events, I love to do it. I believe I am a great candidate because I have big goals for the future and plan to help many while doing so. Going to college would help me further my education and set me on the right path to achieving these goals. But I just need a little financial help in order to do so.
