I have a pretty big loving family! ! My oldest brother is nineteen, my middle brother is ten, and my youngest brother is eight. My mom and dad are my whole world, and my inspirations. I have a strive to change the world! Adventuring is something I enjoy a lot, and so does my mom!

I have loved soccer my whole life! I have been on multiple town teams, as well as Southeast Premier. This is a travel team. I have met some of my best friends through soccer. My older brother inspired me to join soccer. Soccer is an adrenaline rush, as well as a stress reliever.

I joined my lacrosse team in middle school. My town created a team, and we were very small. This allowed us to become very close. Although we were bad, we worked hard. Over time, the team grew in size, and we increased our abilities. Our performance did not show our hard work, but we enjoyed it.

I am captain of the ice hockey team. Our tiny team became the best of friends. We worked so hard throughout the season, and ended up as the state runner-ups. I have learned to love hockey, and all that comes along with it. I play right wing and center.

I took on the role of mentoring elementary school kids after school. It was a very fun way to gain community service hours, as well as prepare for my future in early education. One on one, kids really open up and try to connect. Their way of showing their admiration to me was very rewarding.

I have babysat for as long as I can remember. Daily, I babysit one autistic loving boy and one very bright young girl. We have spent almost everyday together the past three years, and I am very grateful for their caring family. It was special to me that I was able to form a connection with them

This is a community service group I am in! We, as high schoolers, help out the community as much as we can. Our attempts to improve society are small, but very meaningful. Examples of service we have done are leaf raking, crop walks, cookie walks, donations, serving veterans, etc. Over 200 hours!

In my town, I participate in a spiritual group. Over the past four years, I have gained incredible strength and hope. My second year, I became the group representative. This role was very hard work, but very rewarding. It has taught me a incredible amount of leadership skills, and much more.

A women that I know is a second grade teacher. I have helped her correct papers, set up lessons, and decorate for her! I have really enjoyed it. It has prepared me for my future with kids. It is a very fun away to earn community service, as well as understand the minds of young kids.

I love nature! I love being outside. Swimming is something that brings me peace. Taking pictures, hiking, and quading are all activities that I enjoy. My dog also loves to join me.

I was captain of my middle school wrestling team! It was a very different sport, that most girls don't participate in, but it is something I love! My stepdad is an all American wrestler, as well as a high school coach. He has influenced and encouraged all of us kids to wrestle.

I love taking pictures! Adventuring, at home, with friends, wherever! I love to edit them as well. This is just a hobby of mine!

I have been singing for as long as I can remember. I participated in United Girls choir, an advanced choir in New haven, CT. I have also participated in my middle school select choir in which won first place at states, as well as my concert choir group at my high school!

The theater arts program was looking for a main character in the movie they were producing! The movie was over an hour long, which they've never done before! I was new to acting, but I tried it! We were even featured in the news paper and local television!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxXqTDv9kXk
