I am personally passionate about Education, Prison Reform, and Job creation
For me I look up to MLK Jr. , the reason is because he fought for the equality of people and never backed down. I have lived my life fighting for the right for humanity to be treated like humanity and making each life better
Passion, Honesty, Integrity
I would like to leave a legacy, that helped regular Americans believe we have a right to help lead this country to a better place.
I'm sure there are other events I remember but the one that sticks out to me is 9/11. I was 13 years old, in Daw Middles School.
My first job was a summer jobwhen I was 16 years old, I worked through a county government program, and worked with the Street Department in the Village of Wellsville.
The biggest struggle I've ever faced was loosing my 18 month old son. Losing my first born taught me so much empathy for others.
