Hello! You have stumbled upon the page of a charismatic, smart, and sarcastic 16 year old with huge dreams and a potential to change the world. I am a fantastic student (future Salutatorian!), a caring citizen (I play bingo at the old folk's home), and a committed person (I work hard at everything I do). So how do I stand out from other kids? I'm not sure. Maybe I'm just as normal and special as everyone else. But one thing I do know is that I don't give up on my dreams. In less than a year, I plan on being Salutatorian and entering college as a sophomore. An impossible feat? Not for me.

*Update: I'm 18, a college junior, and English major. Go Ducks!

Extracurricular

Junior Varsity Softball

I played JV Softball for a while and I really liked it. I loved the girls on the team and the fun we had together. I discontinued playing because I need to focus more on my studies, although I will probably play recreationally in the future.

Photography

I really enjoy taking pictures of nature and people. This year (11th) I have had the opportunity to take a Photography class and it's been extremely rewarding and I've learned a lot. I still don't know everything about taking photographs, but it's a trial

Crafts

I've always been a crafty person. Every project I'm assigned, I go all out and decorate my poster, tri-fold, etc. and make it look amazing. I've recently gotten the DIY bug, and I've been making gifts for my friends and family, crocheting my own winter so

Art Club

In Art Club, we organized exhibits and shows for our school's art students. We also participated in the annual Chalk Art Weekend where all the artists in our town decorate a street with chalk paintings.

Future Business Leaders of America

In this club, I learned ethical business practices and participated in a regional competition with other schools.

National Honor Society

In Honor Society, we organize community service work, such as Christmas Baskets and Food Drives, for our school. We are also in charge of one of the dances each year.

Friday Night Bingo

Every other Friday, my grandma and I visit a local nursing home to play bingo with the residents. My great-grandma shows up to every game and we have regulars that always come to play.

St. Vincent de Paul- Thrift Store

On the first of every month, I volunteer at St. Vincent de Paul for about 3 hours. I stock shelves, organize inventory, and do other side jobs for the owner.

Friday Night Bingo

I was the co-founder of Friday Night Bingo at one of the local nursing homes. My grandmother and I go there every other Friday to play bingo with the residents and give them something to look forward to during their week.
