What is the significance of the object you brought with you to the photo shoot?
I brought a photo of my family farm that I grew up at in Central Missouri. The image evokes a feeling of peacefulness of the beautiful countryside. It also shows where I came from and how I was shaped as a young person through hard work, perseverance and loving support by my family. I feel that I contribute to the Harvard Community through my life's purpose: "I am here to inspire others to believe in themselves to be their best. I will help propel new knowledge generation forward."
