Have you ever imagined how life would be if you succeed all your challenges and went from sticking to your guts instead of the demons in our head.I do all the time. It's okay to be afraid we're all human.

By the way I'm Salma Tovar an average teenage girl. I attend to do great things in life, we all do. I thank my family for believing in me and showing me how to be tough. High school so far has been an up and down journey. Obstacles in my life were pretty heavy. Back in 6th grade my father had got shot 6 times…thankfully he survived. Ever since then I appreciate life every day and thank god for a new day.

I was inspired by Robin Williams. A good man who would show happiness instead of sorrow. When all things come to a downfall, he would show another perspective of life. To never let your guard down,always have it up. If you don't know who he is you're missing out!

My extra particularly activities were dance class, cross country, track and soccer. Cross country made me stay fit and healthy,So did dance class.Before soccer I was in XC, and at first yes, I was a bit dramatic about running miles, but it turned out to be my favorites thing in the world, running. Freshman year I got injured at soccer practice, tore my IT-band. I was out for 6 months and got back, but instead I joined the JV dance team.

    There are a couple of obstacles that have played a major role in me becoming who I am today. I've had naysayers trying to negatively influence my thoughts, and crush my dreams by saying that said I will never amount to anything, or that I should give up on my dreams and get realistic with my goals. A couple years ago I was a completely different person. I was out of shape physically, my academic performance was very poor, and I had a terrible attitude. I improved greatly in athletics and my academic career.…

    At a younger age, I would say I believed that I can only trust myself and my mother, this is because as a little kid my mom would always tell me that there are bad people in the world and that giving them any information about anything can be very harmful. But as I grew up and realized what was actually happening in my country I knew there were millions of others that were suffering against the “bad people” and we could only do something about it if the whole community came together to help. It was at that time when I was about 25, when I started to put some effort into trying to establish more just conditions within my country especially after the implication of extremely high food prices. This is when I started my first strike involving my…

This trip could not have been timed more perfectly. The summer of 2007 marked the end of fourth grade, my first year at Saint Mary Academy Bay View.…

    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 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.…
