One of my achievments was to be the first African American girl to join the Junior Beta honor Society at a Catholic school in the west coast. I had a background in dance as drill team captain, spirit leader and dance chorenator for our dance team at St. Christopher Elementary school. I was part of a team that had a record that won awards all eight years I was on the team. I was performed on teams in dance both street all races in Las Vegas private parades before the parades were integrated and available for public prior that were private to whites only in the early seventies. I was a dance vengellee who performed in dance groups when goverment thought that the arts were the wrong representation for Las Vegas and North Las Vegas and politicians wanted to end all dance program in Las Vegas. It was our dance team who performed unannounced that kept our dance programs by proving dance is an art form that needs to be respected. One of my accopomplishements is that I am a publlished poet. I am recognized several Who's Who anthologies. I am a poet fellow, poet ambassador and poet scholar. Speakers have given lectures on my poetry at universities. I have had interviews on my poem contributions. I was recognized in magazines for my writing. My greatest achievement is having my poems availablet to use in instruction in library reserves at universities and in public library archives. Some poets have given lectures on my poetic talent. My poems have been published in books, magazines and performed in live poety audiences. Some of my poems have been included in journals. Critics have said about my poetry that I am one of the most prolific writer's of our time with the amount of things I have published have been recognized. I earned a Honorary doctorate degree from the University of Berkley, California in Humanities with emphaisis in Poetry writing. One of my foremost educational accomplishments was to earn from Clark County Community College, two 1990 Associate of General Studies degrees and a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 2010. I struggled in high school with my grades when I transfered from Catholic school to public high school. Neither school accepts credit from either entitity. As a result, straight F grades were integrated into my report card for each year of transfer. I graduated from high school with a 2.12 grade point average. I had been tested out of classes throughout the school years because I was advanced. I made straight A grades in basic, intermediate and advanced classes. The school again integrated my grades for each add drop class. My SAT score was never on record. I passed the pre-Sat and ACT with high scores and did not have to repeat. I met the required academic classes to transfer into a four year college, but my gpa was too low. I was accepted into a community college which became the back bone of my education. I am not noted in high school for my activities, but for my academic achievment in school. One of my accomplishments in life is my work ethic. Staying focussed on my goals and dreams will give me purpose in life. I did not work until I was 26 years old. During the other times I was a college student. I went to college full time 5 - 7 classes per semester. My first job was working for the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Americorp program as a teacher assistant. After a year, I worked in the bookstore as a cashier and was promoted in one semester as a lead cashier. I went to school part time. I currently work as a gaming lab assistant for the College of Southern Nevada and have been employed for eighteen years. During this time I was involed as a political and civil rights activist through humanitarian efforts of being a writer and poet. I had experience being a pulitzer journalist, a song writer and writing screen plays. Writing is a hobby that motivates not only me but inspires others. I have learned to balance my life with two careers, writing and education. One of my achievements was coping with morphea, diabetes and lupus. I am a survivor. I have been able to touch lives writing about my problem. Balancing life and adjusting has been a duty. In my youth I learned a lot. I registered for the Army as a civilian. I wanted to fight for a good cause. I signed up for the National Gaurd and the Peace Corp. I thought helping others less fortunate than I could make a difference. Fighting for what I believe has made me strong. I strive to continue college for the same reason, to be the best I can be while changing lives. Eveybody is going to die someday. I know the complications of my illness. I believe in staying fit and healthy. I learned to diet and exercise and getting enough sleep builds my confidence. Going back to school will give me purpose that I am involved with my life dreams and goals. I dont know what will become of me, but I do know that I have a dream of becoming somebody who can make a difference and valuing education will be the beggining of a new accolade to overcome.One of my achievments was to be the first African American girl to join the Junior Beta honor Society at a Catholic school in the west coast.

I struggled in high school with my grades when I transfered from Catholic school to public high school. Neither school accepts credit from either entitity. As a result, straight F grades were integrated into my report card for each year of transfer. I graduated from high school with a 2.12 grade point average. I had been tested out of classes throughout the school years because I was advanced. I made straight A grades in basic, intermediate and advanced classes. The school again integrated my grades for each add drop class. My SAT score was never on record. I passed the pre-Sat and ACT with high scores and did not have to repeat. I met the required academic classes to transfer into a four year college, but my gpa was too low. I was accepted into a community college which became the back bone of my education. I am not noted in high school for my activities, but for my academic achievment in school. One of my accomplishments in life is my work ethic. Staying focussed on my goals and dreams will give me purpose in life. I did not work until I was 26 years old. During the other times I was a college student. I went to college full time 5 - 7 classes per semester. My first job was working for the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Americorp program as a teacher assistant. After a year, I worked in the bookstore as a cashier and was promoted in one semester as a lead cashier. I went to school part time. I currently work as a gaming lab assistant for the College of Southern Nevada and have been employed for eighteen years. During this time I was involed as a political and civil rights activist through humanitarian efforts of being a writer and poet. I had experience being a pulitzer journalist, a song writer and writing screen plays. Writing is a hobby that motivates not only me but inspires others. I have learned to balance my life with two careers, writing and education. One of my achievements was coping with morphea, diabetes and lupus. I am a survivor. I have been able to touch lives writing about my problem. Balancing life and adjusting has been a duty. In my youth I learned a lot. I registered for the Army as a civilian. I wanted to fight for a good cause. I signed up for the National Gaurd and the Peace Corp. I thought helping others less fortunate than I could make a difference. Fighting for what I believe has made me strong. I strive to continue college for the same reason, to be the best I can be while changing lives. Eveybody is going to die someday. I know the complications of my illness. I believe in staying fit and healthy. I learned to diet and exercise and getting enough sleep builds my confidence. Going back to school will give me purpose that I am involved with my life dreams and goals. I dont know what will become of me, but I do know that I have a dream of becoming somebody who can make a difference and valuing education will be the beggining of a new accolade to overcome.One of my achievments was to be the first African American girl to join the Junior Beta honor Society at a Catholic school in the west coast. I had a background in dance as drill team captain, spirit leader and dance chorenator for our dance team at St. Christopher Elementary school. I was part of a team that had a record that won awards all eight years I was on the team. I was performed on teams in dance both street all races in Las Vegas private parades before the parades were integrated and available for public prior that were private to whites only in the early seventies. I was a dance vengellee who performed in dance groups when goverment thought that the arts were the wrong representation for Las Vegas and North Las Vegas and politicians wanted to end all dance program in Las Vegas. It was our dance team who performed unannounced that kept our dance programs by proving dance is an art form that needs to be respected. One of my accopomplishements is that I am a publlished poet. I am recognized several Who's Who anthologies. I am a poet fellow, poet ambassador and poet scholar. Speakers have given lectures on my poetry at universities. I have had interviews on my poem contributions. I was recognized in magazines for my writing. My greatest achievement is having my poems availablet to use in instruction in library reserves at universities and in public library archives. Some poets have given lectures on my poetic talent. My poems have been published in books, magazines and performed in live poety audiences. Some of my poems have been included in journals. Critics have said about my poetry that I am one of the most prolific writer's of our time with the amount of things I have published have been recognized.
