The time has finally come for me to start my journey into my college career. I have accomplished quite a bit so far, but it hasn't always been easy. Since I was six, I struggled with Juvenille Rheumathoid Arthritis and compared to the average kid, my condition made my achievements difficult to come by. Four years ago, I had the honor of being accepted to a performing arts high school for professional dance training with Alvin Ailey where I excelled, but not without difficulty.

Now as a senior, I have been accepted to Delaware State University to major in Exercise Science with a goal of pursuing a career in physical therapy. I hope to become a sports physical therapist for either the NFL or NBA one day and I hope my dream comes true.

This summer I'd like to jumpstart my future by taking basic introductory classes in an intensive program that the college offers. That way, when I officially start in the fall, I will enter college with 12 total credits, which includes 3 credits from a college course I took during the school year.

I know my major is going to be a lot of hard work and I am ready for the challenge. I really appreciate any donation you could offer to help me reach my goals and I thank you in advance for your contribution.
