I’m officially entering my final semester in college! Time has gone by swiftly with ease, and I credit that to the support that MVYouth has given me. Within this past semester, I have completed a minor in community health, and I greatly look forward to spring where I will be finishing my additional minor in Spanish and my major in Psychology. Beyond academics, I've remained an active member of Howard University's Model United Nations club, proudly representing the only HBCU with such a club. Our preparation for a recent conference included an incredible experience meeting the staff of the Icelandic Embassy to the United States! I’m also learning a lot through my internship, and with our hard work, we’ve received approval from the institutional review board to begin our research working with participants. We’re currently preparing to begin gathering data as soon as the spring semester begins. MVYouth’s unwavering support has fostered within me a feeling of confidence in myself, my decisions, and my capabilities. I’ve matured a lot from the nervous freshman I used to be. A large part of this is due to MVYouth’s financial support. I’m immensely grateful that with this support, I’ve been given the opportunity to live independently in my own apartment, allowing me to cultivate a sense of responsibility and autonomy. Each day gets me closer and closer to completing my undergraduate studies, and I’m really looking forward to graduating! In the meantime, I’ll be making every moment count and cherishing this experience. Thank you MVYouth!
