All of my life I have worked hard to get to where I am today, and I plan on continuing to work hard to get to where I wish to go, in the future. I enjoy being trusted with responsibilities, and I take them very seriously. This includes balancing and determining my financial situation, family life, and the plans I make for my future career.

In high school, I had to choose between spending time with my friends and picking up an extra shift at the local grocery store. That is not to say that all that I did was work, but there were times I knew I could not go on that trip if I wanted to make my dream a reality. My hard-work and commitment has paid off. I am currently a sophomore at Franciscan University, and the discipline that I cultivated helps me to manage my time, finances, and studies properly. I am able to be a full-time student, maintain a part-time job on campus, participate in my household–Madonna of the Streets–, and enjoy the company and fellowship of my friends. In the midst of this heavy work-load, I made the Dean’s List my first three semesters; I hope to continue this pattern throughout my next semesters at Franciscan
