Dancer
Dance 2005 to 2006
I love to dance. It helps get through the day. There is not a day where I am not busting out a move and getting my blood pumping. Ever since Middle School, I found out that dance is a good way to exercise and stay fit. Which is very good for my family, since at parties, all we do is dance.

Art Club 2008 to 2009
I think drawing is a good way to get into the Communications world because it is a broad subject. Art is about expressing emotions or telling a story, even informing people about what is going on. Communications majors also do that. They are either news anchors, or radio personalities, or even the camera men that help make the magic happen.

Volunteer/ Intern
Afterschool Program 2006 to 2010
I was going to an afterschool program for a little while when I needed help with homework. After a while, they said that I could start tutoring the other students after I turned 14. I liked it a lot. I was helping kids my age, sometimes older or younger than me with their work. I really liked it and I was good at it. After a while I was asked to join the internship program where not only i can get a little stipend, but I can also gain experience with other colleges and go on tours.
