Staten Island, NY
I strive for academic achievement.
I am a dedicated person willing to follow my own dreams no matter if there are zero people behind me to back me up. Looking for scholarships for Florida, New York, or Washington D.C. universities. I have a profound interest in politics and law and I feel I can make a big impact on this nation with a great education. Going to college is my biggest dream right now and I really hope I can make it with my credentials.
