"“I had made up my mind that I wanted to be somebody who’s going to clean up the water and this pushed me to research. I was 12 or 13 years old at the time.

So I decided to become a chemical engineer.”"

"We needs to focus on educational programs that helps graduates develop skills."

"They believed that service was what each human owed other humans. I joined Red Cross as a pre-teen because I wanted to ease the suffering of others and when I was in college, I continued to volunteer to shelters and work as a mentor to young children."

"I learned that it was better to focus upon serving others than dwell upon my own life’s issues."

"I realized that if something wasn’t done about cleaning up the soil and rivers, cleaning up the oil spills being my motivation for desiring to study Chemical engineering."

"I began to think like an advocate from an early age looking back, I have always been drawn to helping the underdog or rooting for them in stories that I read."
