There is a mix of emotions for Brunson as she prepares to graduate.
"I will be the first in my family to graduate from college so that's a pretty big honor that I'm super proud of," she said. "I'm not dreading it, but it's like I don't want this to fully end yet. But I am also ready to move on and start something new."
That new thing is a nonprofit organization called "Leaders for Life" that offers after-school and summer programs for children deemed to have a learning disability due to lack of school resources.
"Their scores are drastically low right now so we will just be helping them, assisting them with mentorship, tutoring, taking them on college tours, and offering them sports, music, dance programs, as well," Brunson said.
In June she will relocate to Dallas to run the nonprofit full-time.
