A little bit about me

my name is Fatima. I’m a 19‑year‑old African American sophomore in college majoring in Air Traffic Control. As the oldest sibling, being a big sister has shaped me into someone who values responsibility and leadership, qualities that I carry into both my personal life and academic journey. I’ve always enjoyed working with children, which is why I began babysitting at 17 and later worked as a junior counselor at a summer camp. Those experiences taught me patience, communication, and problem‑solving skills, while also giving me the chance to make a positive impact on younger kids.
