                              My first loves have always been playing sports whether it be basketball, baseball, volleyball and The best non verbal communication…Dancing.  I like to hang out at lounges listening to some real good music and at poetry readings to exercise the mind.

                                Being a sister of Lambda Theta Alpha is one of the most wonderful experiences so far in my life.  I have been blessed with having such wonderful sisters that are there for each other no matter what the case might be.  I have been exposed to options that otherwise might not have been open for me along with access to exploring different parts of the country and culture surrounding them. I enjoy giving back to the community and every other contribution that Lambda Theta Alpha has to offer.  This organization has helped me grow as a person and has helped me realize all the beautiful things that we have in life. 

                               Being apart of two beautiful cultures in this life and becoming a sister of an organization has been a real treat.  I have been able to see all the good things life has to offer.  On that note I try and stay positive to help the people in my cipher stay up.  People in your cipher are the ones that help you in your times of need and build you up as a person so like they say be careful with whom you surround yourself.  Staying true to yourself and others is the healthy way to go.  And no matter where you go or who you’ve become, never forget those people who have encouraged you to keep on going.
