Social work and outreach were instilled in me from childhood, so I feel as though I am responsible to help anyone and everyone I can. My increasing pull to social work came in recent times seeing the increasing numbers of young men who look like me in the penal system and in adverse situations. I volunteer with a non-profit called Deeds of Kindness Inc. and it has shown me how easily we can end up in a situation that is unfavorable, but it has also shown me the importance of aiding suffering humanity. I double major in Business Administration and Accounting, and I plan to use my knowledge, degree, and life to mentor young men and change the world one at a time. I plan to show that leadership is attainable, and anyone can make a difference. It is my mission to be a positive male role model to any young man who needs guidance because that was done for me.
