My experiences over the last six years living in NYC have shaped me into the approachable and compassionate person I am today. I have been immersed in a melting pot with many different culturally and economically diverse populations. These unique experiences have broadened my horizons and allowed me to gain valuable communication skills and the ability to connect with people from all walks of life. I searched out opportunities to give back and help the people in my community both in volunteering in hospitals, educating high school students, and interning in private practices. I even traveled with the organization Medlife, setting up a medical clinic to provide basic medical care and education to people in the poor and underserved communities surrounding Lima, Peru.…
I wrote a book. One, where if it were a movie I would not be old enough to watch it without an adult. No, you can not buy it at Barnes & Nobles or your local bookstore or anywhere books are sold. But I would gladly give you a printed 8 x 11, arial, black and white, 5 font size, unstapled copy in exchange for a Jackson. A little more if you want it signed.…
Faith is the belief in something greater than us one can put full trust, confidence, and reliance on when difficult times arise. I was raised to be involved with church activities to maintain my spiritual life; additionally my faith grew dramatically when my cousin deceased and gave me an overview of what I wanted to pursue my career as. When I was a child, my parents encouraged me to always be as loving and caring as I could be, not for personal gain, but to be benevolent to the people around me. I was raised with two loving parents, Mario and Rebeca, along with a younger brother, Mario and older sister, Ana.…

My life is everchanging, from the decision of whether to go to college, what choices should I take to build my career, to whether or not I believe in certain entities. The best part about this though, is the experience of learning about how the world works, and how everything is always constantly changing. I have only been around for two decades, but I've experienced a lot of change, and feel that nothing is ever constant. I was raised Lutheran, and attended a youth group where I met wonderful friends, connected with leaders, and grew my belief. This was consistant for four years, before change happened.…
In relationship to real world experiences that have aided in my ability to be successful in field experiences, I have gained knowledge for successful student learning through participation in the Partners in Education program at Waco I.S.D. Through my previous employment at Oak Farms Dairy, I was afforded the opportunity to be the liaison for the company to partner with Provident Heights Elementary. Over the span of 15 years, I spent time in the school participating in various endeavors. First of all, during Red Ribbon Week, I the company provided drug awareness booklets and I would visit the classrooms and read-aloud to students. In addition, on several occasions I participated in their career day festivities by speaking to the students…
It was 3’o clock in the afternoon, as I cross the street I can already see all the people. I can see various groups of girls just as excited as I am. To some is just another hot day by the beach in Atlantic City but to me it’s THE day that I’ve been waiting for over 2 years. Being here meant everything at that moment.…

“Loving someone deeply gives you strength, while being deeply loved gives you courage.” - Lao-tzu I am in the school hallway walking to class like usual when my heart starts beating. It gets quicker and quicker, beating ferociously in my chest. The rough beating is like a drum and I am about to collapse. I lean against the wall, struggling to breathe with tears streaming down my cheeks.…
My dad sat me down and told me the news. I was ten, my brothers, six and four, so I was the only one who really knew what was going on. He had just taken us to dinner, my mom hadn’t joined us which I thought was strange but I figured she was still working or something. We were home now and I had just settled into playing my GameBoy.…
The sun suddenly appeared in the sky. My fingers were numb, and every single bone in my body was shaking, even though I had six blankets on. I was sitting on a cliff, and if I moved any more than a foot I would plummet to my death. That’s right, I risked death to see the most “exhilarating sunrise of my life”, which is what everyone with me said. They also said the clouds would go away.…
The beginning of my freshman year was an absolute nightmare. I was already nervous enough because it was a new and bigger school, there would be unfamiliar faces, and possibly even more work and responsibility. Of course, who wouldn’t be nervous. Who ever isn’t nervous is simply hiding it. The first day came around the corner and I was a nervous wreck, but I was very very excited to see my best friends Lauren and Max.…
You kids may be wondering why I called our family number one. Well there is a couple reasons why I think we are the best.

For instance, when I was a baby, I used to get sick a lot that I sometimes would turn into a different color.…
