    My two most substantial accomplishments are becoming the President of the St. John’s University NAACP and interning for the House of Representatives this past summer. I view these two accomplishment as substantial because I believe I defied the odds to achieve them. When I became an executive board member of the St. John’s University NAACP, serving as the chapter’s first Membership Chair, I told myself that I never wanted to serve as President.

Unbeknownst to me, the next academic year, I would be serving as President of the St. John’s University NAACP.…
