Personal Story
I've realized that no student is perfect. Some students excel in English while others excel in science or even athletics. I've excelled in communication. As a freshman I only dreamed of what it was like to be a leader. Never once did I believe that I could or would accomplish, what I have at my school. Even now as graduation approaches I sometimes sit back and wonder why me? Even though I grew up in a loving two parent home, when I entered high school the Black Student Union became a second family to me. Helping with my homework and giving me advice when I was having problems, it was always there for me. During my junior year, I was given the chance to give back some of the help that I had received. As president, I organized field trips, established the Ma Hali Na Lobi Luncheon, and daily announcements during the month of February titled Moments in Black.

For without those people I couldn't have done anything I mentioned above. This year I've embarked on a challenge like no other. I've accomplished what I have because of the love, sacrifice and dedication of my parents, grandparents, family and friends that believed in me. Believed that I was somebody special, and made sure I understood that. At age ten my brothers and I joined the Grace Youth Ushers, a youth group devoted to serving the church and the Los Angeles community. It's been a lot of work that's consumed lots of time, but it has all been worth it. I'm ready for the friendships, relationships, and most of all I'm ready to study a subject I love. I've already raised ten thousand dollars for my class, not including the thousand dollars I helped raise for the United Way's September the eleventh fund. During the summer we sponsored pancake breakfasts and visited other churches to share and get new ideas from other youth groups. I wanted to leave a mark at my school, and that's exactly what I've done. And knowing that the people I hold dear to me will always believe in me I might fail but I will never give up. Since birth my parents have made sure my brothers and I attended church. As the first African-American to be Senior Class President I knew going into the election that a lot would be required from me if I was elected. For seven years we ushered every second, fourth and fifth Sunday at both eight and eleven o'clock services.
