A Bit About Me :)

2011

So a lot of people think I met Tyreece here at Summer Discovery, but really we've been friends for a little over 3 years now. We come from the same program in NYC and we're both from the Bronx. Our program offered Summer Discovery for us for free as long as we met the requirements and showed that we wanted it and Summer Discovery has been something we've been talking about since our Freshman year in the program. For many of you it may not be a big deal, but for us it was like a dream. Summer Discovery wouldn't have been possible for us if it weren't for our program and traveling wouldn't have either. Our families didn't go to college or do anything even as close to as what we're doing so for us, we're the leaders of our families and the better generation. We're the stepping stone to creating a better future for our families because it all started with us. It all started with us knowing who we are and not letting our environments define us. So if Summer Discovery has been something you could always just come back to, appreciate it because Tyreece and I will never be able to do something like this again and I guarentee you there are other kids out there who wish they could have an opportunity like this. Tyreece is a friend I made along the way and we got closer and closer through our hard work in the program and I know someday he'll be very successful and I hope I do as well. So enjoy your time here and use everything to your benefit because I know I am and I've met some pretty amazing people here and I look forward to meeting more before I leave :)
