I am an undergraduate, 18 year old young lady. I recently graduated high school and am now pursuing a Criminal Justice degree at LaGuardia Community College. Neither of my parents finished college because of having kids at a young age and I wanted to be able to go to college since they always said they wanted a brighter future for my siblings and I. I have I have 4 brothers and 3 sisters and we each come from extraordinary background. I am West Indian mixed with other cultures and my Indian name is Harsha. I had a traumatic past and want to use that to help others that encounter similar experiences. I want to be able to help many children and young women with their rights to express who they are and help them understand they are not alone. At first, I just wanted to be a Criminal Justice Defendant but now I do not want to put guilty people back into the world to commit the same crimes again that dehumanizes others. My dream job is to become a General Lawyer that would help with many cases.
