Because God’s hand has directed me to travel a new path, I am pursuing an M.B.A. in Leadership. Frankly, I lack experience in international business, with this marking my second semester in the business program.

    Although I struggled at first with my education, I learned to become independent, friendly, and resilient. The Sister Adele Scholarship would help me continue attending college and pursue a teaching degree and become a bilingual teacher. By becoming a bilingual elementary teacher, I would not only empathize and support students academically and culturally while they balance bilingualism in their education; I would also have the ability to connect with their families.…

    Being part of an institution such as Latino Scholars of Promise has instilled many values in me. The Latino Scholars of Promise is a program that is dedicated to preparing soon to be college students for the future by developing leadership and preparing them for the real world. It has affected me as an individual and has affected other aspects of my life. Being part of a program like this one has helped me view my surroundings in a different way. I am able to see things differently and act in a way in which those beliefs could be used. Without the help of this program I would not be able to learn and put into practice the four values I hold dear today: perseverance, valor and leadership. There are so many instances in which I am driven and determined to use them such as my education, helping others succeed, and most importantly inspiring my…

    Her favorite childhood memory as a child was climbing up a small mountain with our grandfather, on his back, when she was five then eating avocados and passion fruit when they reached the summit they talked and looked out at the scenery. The advice she remembers most from our parents is “Reach for the moon, even if you miss you’ll land among the stars. She described her educational life as “AWESOME!” since she goes to UGA with a double major in microbiology and molecular biological chemistry and a minor in public health; she is part of Engineers Without Borders, Impact, Global Awareness club, and WIT (“Whatever It Takes” which reaches out to refugee children). She plans to graduate in May with her undergraduate’s degree and plans to go to medical school. Her first job was at a IT help desk, but her favorite job is what she does currently: research at Complex Carbohydrates Center at UGA. Her hobbies include: playing the guitar, piano, and violin, volleyball, soccer, volunteering, and hanging out with her friends. Her life goal is to create an establishment that helps women’s health (a clinic to empower women in developing areas). The people who impacted her the most was our parents since they had so much endurance and willingness to put education above everything. Moving to America from Kenya was especially difficult for my sister since she was six at the time, ESL was extremely demeaning, and had to learn the culture through TV and the few friends she had; it was also difficult since she and my older brother would often have to switch schools and leave behind their friends. Her ideology is the Five Constructs: faith, family health, education, and social life. Although she would change nothing about her life, Jennifer’s advice to others is to “Heed your parent’s advice, but also do what makes you happy in accordance to the Five…

    I have a heart for community service, which led me to join the Social Justice ministry at First Corinthian Baptist Church (FCBC) in Harlem. I traveled with the ministry to Albany, NY to attend an education lobby and rally day, for the first time. Once we arrived, we met with an assemblyman and advocated for his support of Universal Pre-K (UPK); which would provide free full-day prekindergarten classes for all the four-year old children in New York. The UPK was approved and it was rewarding to have advocated for a program that was successful, and would benefit my community. After this experience, I participated in the Advocacy Academy with the Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies. This was an inter-faith advocacy training that prepared me to continue advocating with the Social Justice ministry. Upon completion, I earned a Community Advocate Certificate.…

I have also been given the 3R's Award, presented to me by my high school, for recognition of "Outstanding Reason, Respect and Responsibility."
