King Jordan Bridges| Opportunities to Grow

I have learned a vast amount of information from being involved in the Bloom Project. One of the most important life lessons I have learned is to set high goals and have a well thought out plan to achieve it. When there is a plan for a high goal, the chances of succeeding are increased by a large amount. I am thankful for that lesson because goal setting and planning things out are skills that I can and will use throughout my entire life. I have also learned the value of serving others through community service projects.  

Even though it is sometimes a push for me to volunteer, I always feel good after being able to serve or help people who may need it.  I plan on attending college at Notre Dame or Purdue to major in computer engineering. I want to graduate with my Bachelor’s degree and work for a car company like GM as a computer engineer. Not only do I want to succeed in my job, but I want to impact people and make a change as well. One quote that has stuck with me since the beginning of high school is, “never say no to an opportunity to grow”. With that mindset, I believe that I have allowed myself to experience and learn things I never could have if I let certain opportunities pass. I would like to thank my family for supporting me from day 1 and to now and in the future. I would also like to thank Ms. Arnetta and the Bloom Project for providing a “LIGHT” for kids in a world full of darkness.  Ms. Arnetta, you all are doing something great in this community and world and it deserves to be noticed! Last but not least, I'd like to thank anyone who has invested into my success whether it was for one hour or for a number of years. I appreciate all of the support!
