Miley Cyrus or Ariana Grande? Ariana Grande, why is this even a question?
What have you learned as a result of taking part in the leadership exchange this year? It opened my eyes up to the poverty issue that is actually happening today in the Memphis and Tampa metro areas. I learned that I am blessed by who I am and what I have today and it makes me want to help out and give back to the community that I love.
Where do you see yourself in five years? I hope to be teaching in a classroom in the Tampa Bay area or better yet, have won the lottery.
