The sciences have been central to my life ever since I was a child. My mother is a veterinarian and my father a mechanical engineer. Both of my parents attended Tuskegee University and always pushed for me to consider HBCU’s for my education. STEM careers and education are promoted heavily in Huntsville, my hometown, as major tech companies and government entities such as NASA and Missile Defense are located there.
I ventured out my senior year and took courses dealing with social sciences, both in my high school and at a nearby university. I learned more about the world I lived in and myself as black person and the systems that affect me. This was a period of major growth and self-realization. This prompted me to enter into Howard as sociology
