“Furthering my education will provide me the opportunity to do more and give more in the community. It will also provide me the opportunity to continue to work at a less physical yet rewarding job. As I get older I would like to continue working as long as I can. Last, I want to continue being a good role model and mentor to my children and people that have struggled to overcome obstacles in life.”
