Eventually, I started to see self-improvements in all aspects of my life, where I would apply to academics, athletics, and personal life. Now I advocate for youth mental health by running a youth-led mental health organization.

While he has been fortunate to have never personally dealt with homelessness, food insecurity, foster care, or the other critical societal issues and crises that the Youth Commission seeks to provide support services for, Steven joined the Youth Advisory Board to try and be a positive change agent for those that are, especially youth.

In addition, I lead a student-run nonprofit organization dedicated to providing donated pairs of shoes to individuals from low-income communities internationally to launch their own small businesses. In college, I wish to study economics and sociology to further examine the factors that yield income inequality.
