Alysia Bonds- Women and Proverty

My name is Alysia Bonds and I am 18 years of age. I have a three year old son whose name is Jacob. Jacob is the highlight of my life; he acts as both my internal and external motivation. I had my son at the age of fifteen, so yes I contributed to the population of un-wed teen mothers. I also contribute to the population of poverty. Although I contributed to that populace I stood out. I went on to complete high school and I finished my high school years with a 3.35 GPA (Grade Point Average). I am currently in college and I attend Wayne State University. I am a freshman, but I am at the end of my freshman year and well on my way to becoming a sophomore. My major is nursing, but who says I am going to stop there. I am pursuing the goal of become a Certified Registered Nurse of Anesthesia (CRNA).
I am a well driven and highly self-motivated person who sets out to accomplish all that I do. I am well known for my drive, hard working ethics and determination.
My writing has improved over the past 6 years that I have been required to do so. With the requirements of both my middle and high school writing was a major role in our curriculum. For our senior requirements we were required to write a 75-100 page autobiography. Which was a bit of a challenge at first but now I see that it has prepared me for the college writing.
While attending the writing course here at WSU, which is English, 1020 I have been pushed to bring out my writing skills that will help further my career. I am now able to look at writing as outlet to my ideas.
When I put the pen on the paper my hands take over before I can realize what it is I’m writing. Which I have recently learned is a good thing. This allows me get all of my ideas out and then come to them later on to elaborate.
The whole purpose of our Human Rights blog is to educate and help others find a voice in our work. Helping them find their voice will also help them utilize their freedom of speech. To my understanding human rights means having the right to express yourself whether it is verbally, physically or emotionally. These rights are protected by the U.S Amendment. So why not take advantage of our rights and let our opinions, thoughts and voices be heard? Well here is your chance. We, the Wayne State University Ladies for Human Rights, are giving you our audience a chance to voice your opinion and be heard by someone other than your family and friends.
