My step-father, grandfather, and my stepdad's mother attended the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. So it would seem that I grew up around University of Little Rock Alumni’s I would want to go, saying that I got a legacy doesn’t mean I had to follow it. My family taught me to be my own person. Even though my family did not encourage me to go to UALR, they encouraged me that it was important to get a college education other than a high school diploma. But my education had to be important to me for me to be successful for my future.

Donaldson Scholars Academy (CWDSA). While during this time I had gotten really comfortable at the school and developed a lot of friendships. That was when I decided that UALR was best for me Because I noticed I was already home.
My next step was deciding what I wanted to do with my life and if I was sure that’s what I wanted. When I was seven years I wanted to be a doctor, when I was nine I wanted to be a fashion designer, and when I was fifteen my dream job was to be an engineer and still has been my dream til this very day. I noticed that was what I love to do and what I am best at. Engineering is what I want to do and I had to make sure the school I wanted to attend had the program at their school.
The reason I want to become a Trojan is because the university offers everything that’s best for me. UALR has a variety of opportunities and is a place to flourish as a person. I feel like UALR will help me advance the most in becoming my own person and future
