While shadowing my parents preparing for science bowls and quizzing contestants, my interest was piqued in STEM. Additionally, I learned of the African American chemical engineers and chemists and their impacts in everyday life. I remember while tagging along to a regional conference and I noticed Mae Jemison, my lifelong STEM role model, was a keynote speaker! The conference...show more content...

I was too young to compete, and by the time I was old enough, my family had relocated to Georgia. Although my opportunity was stifled, my passion for STEM was not. While in middle school, I seized the chance to apply to a STEM magnet school and was accepted. Today I am grateful for my experience as I've taken advanced math and science courses that will prepare me for college. I also was Vice President of my school's Science Club and member of the Science Olympiad Team. I learned about community opportunities and different applications of science through these extracurriculars. Through Science Club, I led and performed experiments for elementary and Special Education students interested in STEM at outreach events and science fairs. In Science Olympiad, I participated in Technical Problem Solving and Compound Machines events. These events gave me a glimpse at mechanical engineering as I built devices with my partner, and how to think creatively and logically, which are key in the science
