Hi! My name is Charysh Pitts. My pronouns are she/her! I am currently a junior here at UTSA pursuing a bachelor's degree in business management.

Home to me is California and Texas. I chose those two places because that's where I grew up and where I have the fondest memories. Growing up with my grandparents, they were the true definition of home. Feeling safe and loved with them was where I felt the most comfortable and the most at home.

What signifies home to me is where I can be myself and be comfortable with myself. To be loved unconditionally with people who love me the same I love them. A place to live where I can make mistakes and learn and grow from them. A place where I can make memories, both good and bad, and look back on them. A home to me provides inner peace. My sanctuary to feel safe and comforted, where I'm with my loved ones.

Liberation to me, means being free. Setting yourself free and letting yourself be free. To only be in control of yourself, no one else's.

Love, to me, means a deep, strong feeling for someone or something. A deep, tender adoration and admiration for whatever it may be. The word love can be used to describe a feeling like none other. It is such a deep and powerful word.

Not justt one song holds value to me. I love all forms of art, especially music. When I listen to music, I feel connected to the words, to the artist, to the message that both the artist and song are trying to portray. I love all genres of music. Each genre connects to me on an indescribable feeling. When I listen to music, I love listening to the rhythm and the beat of the song. I love listening to the melody. Simply just hearing the artist put their all into their craft is what draws me to music.

I hold many values, but if I were to choose a few, I would choose accountability, authenticity, and compassion. Accountability because I hold myself to a certain standard. I'm honest with myself and my actions. I own up to myself when I make a mistake and don't lie. Authenticity because I'm my own person. I'm honest with who I am and others and the values I hold for myself. I try not to change for no one. Lastly, compassion because I'm an empath and I feel for others. I like to be able to understand what other people are going through and to feel with them. I set aside my feelings to listen to other people and appreciate their values and perspectives, even if they don't align with my values and perspectives.

In this class, I hope to learn about how women have faced so many challenges and continue to face challenges. What experiences they went through that has shaped the world we live in today.

I have a twin sister and we were born 1 minute apart! We're fraternal! We were both born premature. Our due date was March, but we were born end of December!

I feel like the gifts, wisdom, and knowledge I have to offer is myself. My personality has a lot to offer. I would say I'm a very sweet, compassionate, loving person. I'm very understanding and welcoming of everyone. I'm growing and learning all the time, so I feel my wisdom and knowledge increases daily as I learn more about the world and myself.
