“Even though I am committed to leadership, as a student leader [I realize] what comes before leader is student,” Ash says. “I understand my role and being a great student is my primary focus. Every little break I get, I review my textbooks. Wherever I go, travel, I bring my school books.”
His source of motivation, he says, also comes from his mother and grandmother.
“They kept me on a straight and narrow path, encouraged me to do well in school and maintain a belief in God,” Ash says. “It is through their hard work, through them that I am able to achieve what I have so far, and it’s because of them that I am able to do even more.”
The 21-year-old will graduate in the spring with bachelor’s degrees in political science and history.
He is currently applying to law school and hopes to pursue a career in politics or law.
