A LEADER FROM WITHIN Throughout my lifetime, I have learned that I am a natural-born leader. I willingly accept new challenges, conquer my goals, and strive to create a better community for myself, and those around me.

As college freshman, we don’t want to put on all the extra things all at once. We want time to breathe, relax, and have fun; Enjoy college life, isn’t that what it’s all about?
