Personal Statement: Junipero Serra High School

I have endeavored to impact people 's lives, either by helping them through a struggle, impacting a community of students, or just simply listening more than talking. With each life experience, we grow more responsible as we are faced with new challenges as an individual, a member of a student body, a community or a nation. We, as leaders, must be willing to take on these trials and support others through their trying times. At Junipero Serra High School, I have become a leader, a caretaker and most of all a friend to anyone who needs one.

I try to make myself seem like a brother you can talk to , without judgement, and will do anything to help them succeed in any of their endeavors. I want to uphold and honor the brother of the alumni and students of Serra which I’ve felt apart of since my first day of school. By doing this I want to leave a mark on as many people as I can whether they be teachers or students, I want them to remember me as a hardworking individual that they can count on and believe in.
