THE ESSENCE OF A Creative Individual

I have said this time and time again
“A person coming into your life is often there for a moment or forever, either way you do not know who they are as a person, until you begin to engage in conversation”. With that being said, I met an incredible young woman by the name of Essence Bailey. Before I continue, you must realize that there are many meanings of the word Essence and the one that fits her is often defined as: The core nature and important qualities of a person. The meaning definitely is an accurate description of Miss Bailey, the 18yr old student who attends the University of Davis, which is located in Ca. Essence grew up and lived in Santa Rosa with her family which includes: both loving parents and two remarkable and amazing older sisters. Essence has given full credit to her sisters for shaping her into a highly-spirited and confident young lady. I can honestly say first-hand that Essence displays drive and confidence. As a young adult, she is driven, aware and creative. She’s also a person who knows their space in the world and how it will be occupied. With many life goals ahead as a first year student, she decided to major in Design with an emphasis on Fashion. Essence has her eyes on the prize, by developing her own style and knowledge in two highly creative genres: Digital Photography and the other is Journalism. Another important quality
is her compassion as an Activist
