As an Agnes Scott student, I took the Strength Quest assessment. My strengths in order included connectedness, futuristic, belief, learner, and relator. I plan on using my strengths to assist me in tackling one of the issues that I am most passionate about, voter’s rights. My goal would be to address this problem through my campus. My first step would be to build a relationship through my connectedness and relator strengths with the officers of Ignite, a political club on campus. Becoming involved with a club and group of people whose ideas align with my own will help me begin to understand how to navigate political environments. Secondly, I want to start a chapter of the Andrew Goodman Foundation at Agnes Scott. It helps to promote voting: registering, voting, and being informed. Another strength of mine is strategic thinking. This will factor in when it comes to planning events that get my fellow students interested in being involved and in my ultimate goal, interested and informed about voting. At the end of my time at Agnes, I hope that I have encouraged other students to responsibly take part in our civil duties to move our nation forward.
