1. Every morning when I step through the front doors of Kennedy Catholic High School, I am greeted with a smile, whether it be from a friend passing by or a staff member standing in the hallway.

I also aspire to become a youth group leader for the Vietnamese Eucharistic Youth Society. As a youth group leader, I will be able to teach the younger generation about leadership skills, their faith, and their Vietnamese heritage. I am inspired by my current youth group leaders and I too want to impact the lives of the future youth in my
