Hi, my name is Shacora Perkins.  I was born and raised in Boston MA.  I am 30 years old and currently living in Dorchester MA.  I am a full time student at Bunker Hill Community College.  I am studying Human Services as my major.  I am 9 months pregnant now and I have a 6-year-old son name Duane Williams Jr.  I chose to study Human Services because I feel the need to help people no matter what their situation.  In addition, if I cannot I would try to point them in the direction in order to get the help they need.

My interests are to learn about as many things as I can because it is a big world out there and there are lots of things to learn about.  I love shopping for shoes and clothes.  I really like bright colors I feel like bright colors bring your skin color out more.  I like going to the movies, hiking, walking and going out to dinner as well as cooking.  I’m really just an outgoing person who likes to explore different things. If it is positive and will do no harm to my body, I will try it.

I have a 7-year goal to graduate college with a Master’s degree in Human Services and to get a job in a homeless shelter.  The reason for this is because I have been homeless before and just to have one-person help you means a lot.  The plan is to give back and help those people who lost their way in the world.
