Many goals are set early on in the academic process and are manifested based on certain influences. In every goal determined there is a process, and sometimes the process requires research and in-depth thought as to its long term and short term benefits.

My short term goal is to graduate Spelman College with a degree in Political Science with a concentration in urban studies and public administration.
