Empowering Leadership: Computing Scholars of Tomorrow Alliance
 
 
I was born and raised on the west side of Chicago. Having lived in a community with a relatively low socioeconomic status, I have learned to appreciate the little that I have while realizing that it is within my power to change things. As a future graduate from the College of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign I plan to do just that; I will use my skills as a Computer Engineer to work towards something better, not only for myself but for others. Although I do not yet know the shape or form in which this goal of mine will manifest itself in, I do know that it will ultimately be my love of learning and passion for change that will guide me to success.
