High School: Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences, Class of 2019
What are you up to? I am a student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My major is Agricultural Communications.
Where are you headed? In the future, I hope to work for National Geographic and work on opening a nonprofit for minority inclusion in agriculture.
What was the most surprising part of floChicago? The most surprising thing was how close you can become to people you've never met before. I always felt that I was the only teenager thinking about topics we've talked about throughout the week. However, floChicago has taught me that there are so many organic, young minds that stay up thinking about these things too…I'm surprised at how much our voices that can make a difference.
How has floChicago impacted you? I can't enforce enough how much of a life changing experience floChicago has been. This program gave me the opportunity to get to know myself and accept parts of me that I might've doubted in the past. If I was open minded before, I am 1000 times more open to people, activities, ideas, ways of living, and dreams I had never really considered.
