For a long time I’ve watched and admired successful women such as Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama work to achieve their goals. That has inspired me to set my own goals and check them off upon completion. I started out in the third grade aiming for honor roll and I made it.

Currently, I am striving for straight A’s in my classes this year and next year to eventually get into honors classes which will boost up my GPA.

Lastly, my goal is to get into the “Black Girls Lead”
