What do you aspire to be? 

I aspire to be a juvenile probation officer in inner city neighborhoods. Eventually, I want to take all my experience and the things I've learned through working with at-risk youth to start either an city-wide initiative or an after school program that works with these same kids to turn their negative actions into positive ones because I am a firm believer that sometimes kids just need someone to believe in them, even if they don't believe in themselves.
