understands that one cannot possess all that they desire and that there will be days when

things don’t go as planned, but more importantly, she knows how to compromise with what

is available as she prepares for the unprepared. Amongst all, Talilah is caring, empathetic, loyal,

understanding, honest, encouraging, and a team player. Some might notice how focused and

driven she is. Some would possibly say that she’s a great advocate for expanding one’s

intellectual abilities and nourishing their mental health because she can relate to similar

struggles and understands the importance of them both. Some of her passions and hobbies

include art. She believes art is an outlet for free, non-judgmental expression, whether that be

videography, cinematography, photography, painting, drawing, dancing, writing, etc. She

desires to be a perfectionist, longing overachievement, and perfection in all she is tasked with

sometimes has a toll on her mental and emotional health, thus realizing that everyone needs

rest, space, and energy to thrive. Over the years, Talilah has received awards including Student

of the month, Honor roll, case study certificates in recognition of her leadership and

collaboration skills, and acknowledgment for ranking top 5% of her class. Talilah sustains a

humbled attitude while continuing down her path to success. While on that path, she credits

the 3-Dimensional Education (3DE) program within her school for pushing her as she,

professionally, moves into greatness.
