Something that everyone should know about me is that I love love love butterflies. To me, the butterfly represents growth, change, newfound freedom & our hidden ability to fly to unparalleled heights. I live my life with the mindset that there is a lesson in everything; therefore, I do not yearn to learn merely from the classroom, but I want to learn from life itself. Every day – good or bad - is welcomed as a much needed growing and learning experience. As a 24 year old woman, I am learning and growing at an exponential rate and my world is constantly changing as I experience new things and get to know myself – my needs, wants, and goals - better with each passing day. Essentially, I am putting together the pieces of me . . . viewing myself as a puzzle that only I (with God’s continued grace/mercy) can finish/put together :-).
As you’ll find out, I am a bit random – i.e. what is about to follow . . . I was looking through some old essays a while back and I came across my personal statement for my application to Spelman College, which I wrote when I was 16 years old. I think this provides a window into who I really am beyond what I do . . . it’s funny to read this now and see how described myself then . . .
