5. Interests First off, I am a very weird person. The thing that interests me the most is the love and passion that I have for Mathematics. Although, I have interests in anything that involves educating the youth and just being the lively, vibrant person that I am. Lastly, anything that is fun, involve talking, and competing (modeling Fantasy Hair). I LIKE TO HAVE FUN!!!!!!

7. Secondary School Years Attended a public primary, elementary, and high school The one thing that had an lasting impact on my life was the fact that I was a high school dropout due to becoming a teenage parent. I eventually returned (already two years behind) to high school and graduated with Honors, while being a single parent, maintaining a 3.4 GPA (Honors classes), and working a full time job. Became the first recipient of the AXA Achievement Scholarship for the state of Mississippi in association with U.S News and World Report I went on to the University of Mississippi.

8. The FuTuRe In the future, I plan to work in Administration, a college professor, or a Math/Science Consultant. This masters degree will help me in the future by providing me with the necessary course work needed to be able to teach on a college level, as well as pursue a career under Administration (possibly a Principal or Superintendent).

9. Favorite Quotes “Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life. Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism”. - David M. Burns “Tell me and I’ll forget, show me and I may remember, involve me and I’ll understand”. - Chinese proverb “The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you”. - B.B. King
