School starts August 25

This week I start my senior year of college. Graduation is in May, and I’ll be the fourth of four siblings to earn a degree. But my journey doesn’t stop there — I’ll continue on to pursue a master’s in a field that lets me create even greater impact (the second of my four siblings to earn a Masters).

For as long as I can remember, my parents encouraged my siblings and me to follow what we’re passionate about. Two of them are already living their passions, one is laying her foundation, and I’m chasing mine — to become a motivational speaker who impacts millions.

I’ve always loved being in front of a camera, connecting with people, and making a difference. College gave me the space to refine my voice and the tools to turn this dream into a career. There’s still work to do, but I know it’s possible. Women’s voices are strong, needed, and rising — and I plan to be part of that movement.

Wherever you are in your journey, use school to discover your passion, align your goals, and commit fully to making it happen. It won’t be easy, but if you give it everything you have, you will make it happen.

OWN your path. Take action NOW. And believe you’ve already WON.
