Sparkle has lost two important people in her life in recent years, her father and her boyfriend. Despite these losses, Sparkle has persevered to achieve her dream of a college education. As she says, “even though I will not let my past negatively affect my future, the obstacles that I’ve overcome shape who I am today.” Honoring her boyfriend’s dream off attending college to work with young people, she has turned this tragedy into something positive. Sparkle became a youth instructor for Destiny Arts Center and is currently a member of Upward Bound and the Future Leader's Institute. She enjoys supporting others and is producing a show to benefit Dreamcatchers Homeless Shelter for teens. Will attend Fresno State.
