Chapters

Leadership is more than a role. It's more than a title. It's all about how you can use your own knowledge and give back. It's all about growing and becoming the best you could be, and education, learning, does that. It challenges you to become a better person. Science, it makes me think and put things together, and I like to fix things.
Kamiyah is the poster child for every teacher for what they want every student to be. She goes above and beyond on all of her assignments. She participates in every discussion. She thinks about what she says before she says it.
She has a pleasant demeanor. She's, I've noticed, very patient. She's kind to her classmates.
My dream is— so I want to create change within my community and what I see is wrong in the world. I want to right now because it changed, it changes a lot. And now I want to be a CEO of a hospital. Having a hand at the table will help me create that change.
She's hardworking, she's diligent, but she's a go-getter. Congratulations, Miss Alderman!
Congratulations, Camille. I'm so happy for you, and you deserve it. Thank you.
