My childhood was unique and rewarding. I was born on August 20th, 1991, in Renton, Washington. I was the fourth child in a brood that would soon total five children once my younger sister Charmaine was born. My parents had decided that they would home school us from the very beginning. I never went to preschool, elementary school, middle school, or even high school. Instead I enjoyed a much different and much more personal kind of instruction from my mother, a few tutors, and my four siblings.

Green River Community College has helped me deepen my passion for learning. When I first came to Green River through the Running Start program in fall of 2008, my plans were fairly modest: I wanted to graduate with an AA degree in tow years and then transfer to a four-year university. After my first quarter however, I decided I wanted a more specialized degree than the Associate in Arts. I decided to work for an Associate in Business instead. Since then I have learned the true nature of being a college student: one can never change their major too many times. My latest interest is in computer science. My goal is to earn and Associate in Science degree in computer science by the end of next year. After that, I plan on transferring to a four-year university. I have been considering the University of Washington, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Stanford University.

When I am not busy studying I spend my free time like most other college students. I enjoy going out with friends to see a movie or hanging out at the lake. I will play almost any organized team sport, soccer being the only exception (what kind of game penalizes you for using your hands?). I am really passionate about music and like nothing more than seeing my favorite bands perform. I have also recently begun playing guitar and I am excited to start making music of my own.

I have enjoyed every opportunity to get involved with student life at Green River. The first opportunity I pursued was an invitation to the honor society Phi Theta Kappa. After attending a couple of meetings I took on the position of Honor Topic Committee Chairperson and began to plan events for our chapter at GRCC. After that I became involved with Student Senate at Green River and was accepted as a member of the Judicial Committee. I have also had the pleasure of being a tutor in the Writing Center at Green River as well as being a grader for the Math Department. Most recently, I have been selected as this year's ASGRCC Chief Justice. I am very excited about this great opportunity and I can't wait to start working to improve the GRCC experience for all of my fellow students.
