Hello New Look Family,

          The power gained from giving my all in anything and everything I do has definitely paid off. The power to shape a road to "impossible" goals becomes second nature. Finite decisions seem to tumble as my horizons widen into a delightful paradise. My diligence stems from God who knows the master plan in my life. Also my family shares their strides, their imperfections, their accomplishments that definitely give the formula for success that I apply in my own endeavors. My continuing education feeds my mind with knowledge along with life experiences. In addition organizations such as Usher's New Look Foundation have given me the tools necessary for success. For example, the MIT program in 2008 implemented a rigorous weekly business course that exposed me and other young scholars to business etiquette, business plan development, marketing strategy, and overall communication skills. Surprisingly, my ballet training has trained and conditioned my mind; it has given me my focus and my discipline not only in the dance studio, but in others avenues of life.

       As I spill my words into this blog, I hope that people understand that surrendering is beneficial. It's hard to find outlets to surrender. At an early age, my parents made me participate in Sunday school and church functions; I surrendered my all in dance presentations and recitations. These practices matriculated into my teenage years. I am still surrendering my all as a young adult. As an intern of the Library of Congress, I have found that great service in America can be found in great leadership, from mayors to governors, United States House of Representatives to US Senators; from the US Vice President to US President.  Leaders also surrender and sacrifice abundantly. In addition, Usher Raymond IV believes in the power of service. His foundation definitely implements a service project during camp sessions. For example, I personally participated in the Hands on Atlanta in 2006 and The “I Can’t, But You Can” Voter Registration Rally in 2008. On a national level, the foundation exposed me to Service Nation project at an inner city school in DC during President Obama’s inaugural festivities.

 Surrendering your all in work, community service, a passion in life and for family and loved ones creates powerful energy. Look Also I know that YOU TOO CAN SURRENDER YOUR ALL.

Sincerely,

Chantia Robinson
