I am Densia Wray, a sophomore at City College majoring in Political Science and possibly Public Relations or minoring in Journalism. My decision to pursue these majors came after thoroughly enjoying my Intro to Media Communications and Intro to Political Science classes, as well as my desire to create local and societal change. Although it took a while for me to make this decision, once I started listening to what I really wanted and not what I thought was wanted from me I realized what I really want to do with my life. Ever since my first real introduction to the world and its realities in my high school English classes I knew that my purpose was not to conform to what society wants from me but to challenge society to change. Over the summer

My ultimate endeavor since attending community college has been my involvement in school, specifically with Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. As an engineering major I am limited to a diminutive amount of free time, due to the quantity and difficulty of my classes. However, this limitation and the fact that my ride to school is a two hour trip on public transportation, has not stopped me from participating in extracurricular activities. Applying my time management and responsibility skills that I acquired from taking several math base classes at the same time, I managed to become a member of clubs and attain leadership roles. I first became the Vice President of Service, for Phi Theta Kappa and organized service events on campus and outside of campus.

I absolutely love working with high school students. I taught high school before, but counseling in a high school creates a different dynamic with the students. I love interaction, relationship with students, counseling and diversity of each day. Working with students and families through the college admissions process is quite rewarding and provides a nice balance to the problems that I handle day to day. I love the positive and proactive spirit of applying to college and the excitement it brings to the student.

Going to Oberlin would be like going to my high school, only tenfold. My high school is very diverse and I've been able to experience a myriad of different situations that, if I had gone to any other high school, I would never have encountered. The majors Oberlin have available are also big attraction points for me. When I get older I hope to become a roving photojournalist/psychologist, who writes her own books and sometimes works for National Geographic, and I feel as if Oberlin will help cultivate this dream of mine and turn it into something even more fantastic than what I imagined (i.e. running my own business that employs other photojournalists/psychologists who trek the world documenting big issues caused by people and figuring out why

Considering my age, it would be very difficult to believe that I would really want to join college. However, two factors largely alleviate my interest in having a degree. Firstly, I enjoy school. It keeps one busy, provides an array of materials to read and widen one’s knowledge, and is a platform to meet different and unique people. Secondly, having two sons who are inquisitive about college challenges me to really get a degree, and actually be an example to them.
