Fortunately, I have been able to participate in STEM enrichment programs outside of my community such as NCSU’s Caldwell Fellows SATELLITE Camp, PARI Summer Space Camp Connect, and Appalachian Regional Commission-Oak Ridge Laboratory STEM Academy.

My participation in the Alexander High School UIL Academic team taught me the lesson of hard work pays off.

I was deepening my knowledge of human anatomy and how diseases are spread to allow us to succeed at state. I also helped kids on the middle school team. I led experiments for them and helped them study so that they too could have a deeper understanding and broaden their knowledge.

Why? Why was I cursed to live this life of rage and pain? Why did our ancestor cause us to be cursed with generations of life-liquid thirsty pain and rage filled lives? Why does one man’s actions define a generation to follow? We weren’t even given a chance to be different from him.
