WinnerBio
My hope is to become a first-generation college student. I have a genuine passion for community service, children, and women's empowerment. My passion for children came from my cousin who was diagnosed with level 3 Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and years later, my brother was diagnosed with level 1 ASD. Being a voice to the voiceless has encouraged me to obtain an education in special education with a minor in social work. My goal is to ensure the children with special needs and those who are medically fragile are shown kindness and an education in a safe environment. I look forward to serving my community, advocating for all children. Any financial assistance I receive will help further my path to becoming an educator. Thank you.
