me who I am today. Being grown up at an abnormal age can make things difficult but yet beneficial at the same time, I now help provide for my family by working and being able to pay my own bills. I can distinctly remember growing up in elementary school, how I felt growing up without a father. What use to always bug me about it was how all the kids made father’s day gifts and would be able to actually give it to them. I was forced to make a father’s day gift every time it came around, but…

High school came around, and Nav slowly became my best friend. He showed me off as his sister. We actually didn 't mind communicating with each other, and things changed for the better. Senior year which was not too long ago became very exhausting. I was emotionally and physically done between high school, work, family, and friends. Out of all people only one person was there for me making sure I’m getting…

A full plate as in I won 't have any free time to focas on anything other than my goals. My goals consist of having a 4.0 GPA every year of high school, recieving…

Reading Rodeo Promotion Plan Reading Rodeo is a non-profit community summer reading program for kindergarden through high school. The idea came from varies thoughts of refraining to do the same Vacation Bible School that every neighborhood church had scheduled for one week in the summer. “Childhood pastimes are increasingly moving indoors,” reports U.S.A Today in 2005, and not much has changed eight years later.

It’s a responsibility we as potential candidates are supposed to fulfill, as we are expected to continue possessing the four important qualities for the rest of our high school careers.

One of the aspects of being an…
