"I was a member of the boys and girls' club growing up, and since I've always wanted to help at-risk youth. I went to college and got a bachelor's degree in social services. I've volunteered with at-risk youth, taking part in several after-school programs. Now it's my goal to continue my career path by seeing what kind of change I can bring about, large or small."
