What was a lesson you learned while in MyCom that has helped you in life? 

Through my years participating in MyCom I have learned that no matter how young or how old you may be, if we all work together we can make a difference in the world by starting off with our community.

My advice to the youth of today would be to grasp every opportunity that life hands to you because every experience is a experience worth taking and learning from.

I still participate in leading the young minds of today every summer I am the Lead Artist for our Teen Summer program, where I teach youth how to give back to the community while beautifying the neighborhood through Art.

In 2-3 years I will be a successful business owner.
