WHY IS COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT IMPORTANT?
“Because it allows me to provide support to those who are less fortunate. It also gives me the opportunity to understand the challenges we face as a society, which further motivates me to continue giving back.”
IF I COULD IMPROVE THE WORLD I WOULD...
“I would encourage more minority students to challenge themselves academically and go to college to get higher wages, better jobs, and access to more opportunities.”
COLLEGE OF CHOICE
“My top three colleges are Regis University, University of Denver, and the University of Colorado at Boulder.”
