Finish this sentence “Don’t let anyone….”: Rain on my parade.
What motivates you?
I want to accomplish all of my goals and help people. Every time there’s an accident or disaster where people suffer it breaks my heart and I know that I can help to develop tec to prevent things like that from happening in the future.
How would you describe yourself?
I’ve had a really rough childhood and teenage years but I’ve always been focused on my goals and distract myself from the pain by studying and working hard to get where I want to be in life.
What do you love about being a Trini Girl?
I absolutely love Trinidadian culture. It’s a ‘melting pot’ of so many different places in the world and nowhere is like here with our rich history and diversity.
What advice would you give a younger girl?
I would tell any younger girl to never give up on her dreams, no matter how far fetched it may seem or what people may say. The world’s greatest lie is that at a certain point in our lives we lose control of what’s happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate (the Alchemist- Paulo Coelho). But the one great truth is that whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do when you really want something and work towards it you can accomplish it.
Anything you’d like to add?
I was accepted into Centennial College in Canada to pursue a Diploma in Aerospace Manufacturing Engineering Technology. Its always been my goal and I’ve been saving for it since I was 16. However, I am in a tough family situation where my stepfather doesn’t want me to be a part of the family. I was abused and manipulated by my mother and stepfather for most of my life and have had everything that I have worked for taken away. I currently live with my grandparents and am still pushing to save for my tuition and I refuse to give up on my goals no matter how tough it has been and will continue to be until I get there.
