 Synopsis
• I have a passion for business, politics, and world
cultures; therefore, a Foreign Affairs Specialist is the
perfect culmination of my talents and preferences.
• Throughout my high school career, I have taken a very
intense class schedule, including over 18 honors and AP
courses, all while maintaining a 3.95 Grade Point
Average.
– My courses applying to my career choice include: AP European
History, Honors American History, Honors World Studies,
Honors Spanish I and II, and Honors Government and
Economics.
• In addition to academic courses, I have opted to invest in
various business classes such as Principles of Business,
Personal Finance, and AMS I and II.
 Synopsis
• After traveling to Mexico in the summer of 2010, I have
narrowed my area of interest to South American
countries, specifically Spanish-speaking nations. I plan
on minoring in Spanish in college.
• I have been a Student Council Officer all four years,
including Junior Class Treasurer and Student Body
Treasurer. The skills I have obtained during my terms
have taught me about leadership and organization,
which are vital in business and political venues.
• A career in the international field is ideal for me based on
my interests, passions, and talents.

STARS Peer Leaders

Left: These pictures are from TAATU

(Teens Against Alcohol and Tobacco Use).
The Peer Leaders set up different stations
for sixth grade students to attend and
learn about the benefits of staying alcohol
and tobacco free. My group, the Noah’s
Promise Players, perform skits for the
students that relate to peer pressure and
decision making.

Far Left: For National Red

Ribbon Week, we organize
several activities, including
taping down body outlines with
facts about tobacco and its
effects.

focus on encouraging safety on
prom night. Prom Promise is a
pledge to stay alcohol, tobacco,
and drug free. Our slogan is
“Don’t you want this to be a
night to REMEMBER?”
Examples of Projects
In the summer of 2010, I began
sponsoring Aylen Mita, a three
year old girl living in Bolivia. The
sponsorship is through
Compassion International. My
sponsorship includes a monthly
due, which is put toward Aylen’s
education, healthcare, living
expenses, and nourishment. I
have the opportunity to write
and receive letters from Aylen
and her family. I hope to one day
visit her in Bolivia.

Above: I love seeing these envelopes in the mail. I

try to write back as soon as possible. I often
include pictures of my family or myself, which
Aylen is able to keep.
