As MTV's Street Team '08 political correspondent for Virginia, I am producing video news reports, harnessing the unbelievable power of the media to bring compelling political news to young people. I see my ability and new opportunity to stimulate young people to involve themselves in the political process as intricately tied to the fight for social justice. I believe early involvement of young people in the political life of our country can literally reinvigorate our democracy.
I also plan to attend law school where I intend that my education in the law will make me more aware and more able to defeat not only the more obvious and prevalent racial, sexual and age discrimination, but also the more subtle process and institutional inequities that paint whole demographics with unfairness and ultimately with despair.
