About Me

Growing up, my parents would always tell me, “Anything that you can put your mind to can be achieved”. I grew up in East Saint Louis in a pretty rough neighborhood with little resources. Since early childhood, I have always had a clear vision and came up with a plan for my future. Early on, I began to feel a little doubt about pursuing my goals, mainly because of the negative attitudes of my peers and others who tried to discourage me. Eventually my parents and I moved to another city and I was introduced to a different environment. I was presented with better education opportunities as well as new positive friends. Although, some of my goals changed and my path became unclear, I continue to work diligently to regain my focus. By freshman year, I discovered a new interest and finally realized what I wanted to pursue. Hard work and my Father constantly saying, “You don't want to work for someone your whole life,” made me passionate about becoming my own boss. This brings me to the present day. The CEO program fits perfect in my plans because it will supply me with all the knowledge I need to pursue my degree in business management when I go to college. I am hoping to use this opportunity and all of my experiences to help me secure a success future.
