During my fall semester of junior year, I have been exposed to various skills and knowledge. 11th grade has definitely proven to be a challenging year. Yet, I have learned so much about myself and my community within a semester.
As a junior, applying for colleges and looking into a possible career is just around the corner. I have been privileged to be given the opportunity to begin this process my junior year.

That really triggered something inside me. I always knew that whatever I decide on becoming, that it would be so that I can change the lives of people. Becoming a teacher is definitely still a possibility for me, but I do plan on exposing myself to other careers so that when the time comes where I have to make my final decision, I have enough data and experience to make the best decision for myself. The Job Shadow project taught me how to properly set appointments for career search and I also got the chance to investigate a possible career choice.
Aside from growing as an academic student, I was also able to grow as a global citizen. I was able to take action, recognize perspectives, and communicate ideas when I attended the Northeast Strategy Public Workshop. As the new vice president for Student Advisory Council, I had to attend this workshop in order to report back to the Student Advisory Council. I was very nervous and anxious because I had never attended a meeting similar to the NEV Strategy
