Kelvin
Surrounded by negativity in my life, I could have been easily influenced to take the wrong path of living. Many did not expect me to develop into an educated and well-rounded person. As a child, my mother bought video games to keep me and my siblings entertained indoors to avoid getting into trouble on the streets. Because I am the firstborn of four children, I became a very independent person who is motivated to do the best he can, while being a positive influence for my three younger siblings.
I am currently enrolled at Lehman College. I have recently gained an interest in the art of theatre and have decided to minor in Theatre. Being able to watch a performance progress from rehearsals to the opening night from different perspectives: on stage, in the audience, and backstage, spawned my interests to pursue this minor. My success and accomplishments will be maximized through a career where I can utilize my skills, strengths, and abilities to develop myself as a professional and help others. Although my career path has yet to be determined, I plan on becoming very successful in any field I enter. As a New York Needs You Fellow, I will make the most of myself and will use the opportunity to make lifelong connections. I am looking forward to giving back to the program through volunteering and perhaps becoming a Mentor Coach.
