About
My name is Mariam Tigane and I am a junior at the The Young Women's Leadership School of Brooklyn. In my spare time, I write speeches, stories, and poems about anything and everything on my views of the world. I am an avid public speaker for injustices and discussions around current events. The world is a big place and there is a lot going on that I feel is important to engage in. In addition to achieving academic excellence as a first-gen student, I am also an active member in my school community! This year, I co-founded two new clubs in my school: the Step Team, known as the Bodacious Steppers, and the Muslim Student Association. Considering my intense love for dancing, I am also a member of my school's Dance Ensemble! I was lucky to have been voted Vice President of my school, and highly appreciative of the love and support my school is able to foster me. In addition to all the wonderful things I take part in, the best of all is being a proud older sister of 5, and the child of Malien and Ivorian parents. They are my motivation!
What I’m Raising Money For
This summer, I've been given an opportunity to attend a pre-college program for 7 weeks in Cambridge, Massachusetts, studying Neuroscience & Psychology and the Fundamentals of Islam. Considering that I am a first-gen student, this summer would provide me with some insight into the field of medicine all the while providing me with the college experience as well! In order, for other driven scholars to experience enrichment programs like this, and many more in the future, we must raise money. Donations can make that happen.
Why You Should Give
Through an intensely immersive trip away from home, SEO Scholars are introduced to environments and people foreign to their normal setting. It is critical that we introduce today's youth to areas that broaden their perspectives on how the rest of the world functions in contrast to what's normal to them. In New York, we focus on what happens here, but there is the whole world to experience and learn about too! This money will not only support me, but many other scholars as well in their ventures in enrichment programs. As SEO like to put it, " It's not about you. It's about those before and after you."
