At her core, Tracey Graves says there is always one thing guiding her endeavors: service. From a young age, the Kennesaw State University student had the importance of serving instilled in her, first by her family, and later by the personal feeling of purpose driving her life. “After every holiday growing up, my aunt would have us make sandwiches, we’d buy a case of water, and take them out to homeless people in my hometown,” said Graves, who is pursuing a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree. “I think that’s where it all started, and that’s one thing we’ll all be doing forever, whether we’re serving ourselves, our families, our God, our community or the Earth, we’re all in service to something.”
