So I'm currently in D.C at a UNCF conference, as a corporate scholar. Great right? It really is, moments like this always remind me even more about how blessed I am. Today I sat through some speakers talking about education reform and such which all I know is "no child left behind" but apparently that's working. Well through this I realized how many jobs are actually out there, and I shouldn't just settle for what I know, and then I was thinking to myself where would I start to find out about different things, certainly not from the recycled forum speakers SBI has come to talk to us. So that's when you would find a path to go down, and that's when I realized that I have not yet realized my passion. So me being me, I felt like I needed to find my passion right then and there... So this is what I came up with, recently I've been thinking about how when I go back to Tally that I want to help out with their ACT-SO chapter, and be a mentor of some sort. And I was also thinking about how in love I am with the UNCF right now and how they reach out to help young black, usually HBCU students. Next, I thought about how I like to help people, or how I like helping people reach goal that they can benefit from. And that's what both groups do. So then I played the question game... What do I want to do? Help. Who do I want to help? Students. What kind of students? Students like me, black students...HBCU students. I want HBCUs to be more popular than they are. I want HBCU students to have plethora of networking opportunities with each other. And I want them all to be successful! But who knows I need something to fuel a passion inside me. Today we talked about social entrepreneurship too, and I'm going to take a more in depth look at that. I seem to come up with the craziest things in my head too. Like today I was thinking how I want to be a leader but I don't want to lead people, I just want them to follow. And I guess that means to me is I want to do something so monumental that I don't have to tell someone to get on board, but to chase the train down and hop on, because they are so intrigued and what to get involved. But yeeeah, that's it.
