Why is family everything to me? First of all, for nearly twenty years it’s the only life I have ever known. Being able to share my ups and downs with people who have my best interest at heart is extremely helpful. Between my faith and family, I rarely feel unprepared for the challenges of each day. And those challenges keep expanding. My normal day involves: i) maintaining my GPA in a rigorous curriculum; ii) identifying and developing enterprise-level business solutions using artificial Intelligence; iii) working on our family’s non-profit, The Recursion Program Young Leaders Board, which focuses on the root causes of poverty; and iv) training in my free time to maintain competitive lacrosse skills.
It is not always easy, but that is part of my individual journey I hope to share. Hopefully, my story will connect with someone else who may be experiencing similar issues. And maybe they can positively influence someone else and/or their community at large. I am just trying to follow the words of Christ from Matthew 5 by allowing my light to shine before others, that it might glorify God.
