I attend Ivy Tech Community College-Wabash Valley Region in Terre Haute, IN. On May 3, 2007 I earned my first college degree. It was an A.A.S. degree in Business Administration with concentration in Management. My current major is Business Administration with concentration in Sports Management (A.S.). I aim to transfer to a four year institution to earn a Bachelor’s degree in the Sports Management field. My dream job is to assist in running a community center in which I can instruct children in the “sweet science” (Boxing) and provide them with educational assistance through tutorial sessions.

 I chose to accept the invitation to become a member of Phi Theta Kappa because I figured that it would help me to advance towards my educational and professional goals (i.e. look good on my resume). My membership application was confirmed and accepted on October 20, 2005. The first activity that I took part in was Alpha Phi Eta chapter’s “Gift of Warmth” in December of 2005. The program provided Ivy Tech students’ children with gifts, a luncheon, and we even sang Christmas carols. This experience presented me with the understanding that Phi Theta Kappa was much more than “a club for intellectuals”. I was given the opportunity to interact with my peers and their families. I was able to truly make a difference. Needless to say, I haven’t looked back since and Phi Theta Kappa has continued to provide me with opportunities to serve my chapter, campus, community, region, and world.

 As President, I believe that I am but one of the vehicles through which our society operates. Thank you all for your support, encouragement, and confidence.
