Please answer all questions providing as much fun and unique details as possible.
1. What area of Keller ISD do you live in? How long have you lived in your current
neighborhood?
I currently live in Hidden lakes, directly behind the elementary school in the Woodlands. I have
lived in my neighborhood for 9 years.
2. What do you Jove about your neighborhood? What's your favorite neighborhood hangout?
There are so many things I love about Hidden Lakes; however, my favorite thing is the fact that
is it such a diverse neighborhood. In the Woodlands we have newly married couples, toddlers,
elementary school students, middle school students, high school students, and couples whose
children are in college. What I love about this is that since most people on my street have lived
here for 5 or more years I have had the opportunity to babysit many of these families and watch
their children grow up and become individuals. It amazes me how fast they grow up when I go
on walks in my neighborhood and the boys are playing football instead of four years ago when
they played cops and robbers.
My favorite neighborhood hangout is the volleyball nets, it's a great place where all of my
friends can meet up and is close to our homes.
3. What extra-curricular activities do you participate in and why? Be specific on your
involvement and what specifically you do and what you like about it.
At my school I try to be as involved as possible to truly make a difference. I am currently the
president of Interact, which is a club affiliated with rotary. I love Interact because I am able to
volunteer throughout the community with student who truly want to make a difference. I am
aIso Correspond ing Secretary of Student Council. I have devoted most of my high school ca ree r
to student council and would do it all over again. I have met so many amazing people, changed
lives, and become a much stronger leader through Student Council. I am in charge of Green cord
( A community service progra m).1 am also a pa rt of the Yearbook staff, a mem ber of HOSA
(health occupation association of students), SOS ( support our soldiers). NHS (National Honor
Society), Academic decathlon, and outside of school I am the head advisory board member of a
national organization called Teens in the Driver's seat.
4. Be specific about any awards or honors you may have won.
I received the Gold Award, The outstanding community service award two years in a row,
outstanding leadership award. I have also been award two years in a rowan outstanding leader
award from the secretary of state for my work with Teens In the Driver's Seat.
5. Tell us something interesting about yourself that people wouldn't necessarily know about you
right off the bat?
Through my years of dedication and success in the largest student leadership organization in the
world, I have become confident and articulate in my demeanor, however, as you will hopefully
realize, I am surprisingly casual by nature ... 1believe in doing what you love and you will learn
that when I become passionate in my work, I will not let anything including formalities, get in
the way of making my work successful and enjoyable as possible. However I also ask that you do
not mistake my confidence for arrogance, as you will also find that I am a firm believer in
servant leadership and will be selflessly put others before myself in order to ensure that we
work together as a team.
6. Who do you consider a role model and why? Who do you admire and why?
My role model is my dad, although it may seem cliche he is truly the one I look up to in life.
Throughout every hardship' have faced in my life and through the death of my mom my dad has
been my support system who I can always rely on. He has always pushed me to do the best I can
and not settle for okay but to strive for greatness. Everything I have accomplished in life is
because of his encouragement and constant faith in me.
I admire my aunt because she was an extremely dedicated student in high school and was then
accepted in Stanford in Harvard. She then became a world renown doctor and at the same time
managed a family. This is my dream in life to live an extremely successful life such as she has.
Even though she is so successful she still finds time to go on missions to third world nations to
perform free health care. I admire her so much and respect her for everything she has done.
7. What's your favorite place you have traveled? Where would you like to go but have never
been?
My favorite place I have traveled is Chile, the culture there is
so different and
unique. I adored
the quaintness of their environment and the atmosphere of the city. It is a beautiful place that I
learned so many incredible lessons from.
I would love to travel to Africa to see the cultural difference and lend a helping hand in any and
every way possible.
8. What if your favorite subject at school? Why?
My favorite subject at school is Science. Science fascinates me because there is always
something new to learn or discover. The world has so many hidden secrets that we have yet to
discover. I have tried to learn everything I can while in high school about chemistry, biology,
physics, and anatomy which is the reason I have doubled up on sciences for three years now.
9. What profession/vocation do you want to go into or study after you graduate? And why?
What interests you about it?
I want to go into the medical field and study clinical science or biology. With this degree I hope
to become a pediatric surgeon. I adore children and want to change as any lives as possible, and
I believe as
a pediatric surgeon 1would be able to accomplish this goal.
10. Do you have any hidden talents? What are they?
The only hidden talent I have is that r love to sing.
11. Name a teacher who has had an impact on your life. What did her/ she do for you?
The teacher that has had the greatest impact on me is Ms. Keyes. Ms. Keyes is my student
council sponsor and was my chemistry teacher. She has taught me so many things about
becoming a successful leader and has supported me in everything I do. J owe many of the
current leadership positions I now hold to her. I am so grateful for everything I have been taught
from her.
