Senior 26

   I’ve always felt like I was a natural leader.I’m the first born,first daughter,granddaughter, and niece so I’ve always had to be the ideal role model.I have been put in many leadership roles over my course in high school I’m in 2020 leadership,student ambassador,Student district advisory council and student intern.I love that my school can come too me and feel comfortable putting me in front of camera with a news cast and talk about my school.I also did a good news club with Faxon elementary school my eighth grade year all the way through my sophomore year of high school.

          The student district advisory council has given me a chance to speak my opinion on what is going on in my school and district and the chance to hear from other schools in the district and too know that my school isn’t the only school struggling financially and just with the students and teachers relationships this experience has opened my eyes too broader point of view.Another leadership experience that I have gotten too experience is being a student intern for my school district this has given me work experience in a field that I am interested to go in to in college.

        I am a 4th grade teacher assistant. I get held to the same standards as teachers, business casual clothes and appropriate conversations with students and has given me a chance to have this experience with the kids and practice building relationships with them. Being a student ambassador has really let me experience highschool in a different type of way.I’m a good student who doesn’t get into trouble, does most sports and stays on top of my grades best I can and I’m really active when it comes to school events.I’ve done news interviews for my school,Volleyball player,basketball manger (boys and girls), Track and field athlete,Tour guide and I can’t wait to bring everything I did in highschool too new level in college.

         I Hope to demonstrate my leadership in the future by continue to be involved in school and to be a role model to other students and they can have someone to come too and talk too and feel unjudged and heard.When I go to college I want to major in social work or education and I feel like there’s so many way I can be a leader in each one of those roles but I really want to advocate for my students or clients that is one of main jobs. 

          My real goal in any one of those fields is too be the change I wanna see I’m very passionate about social work because I’ve been in the system I know how bad our system is and the way it makes the children feel like their just another case and number and what their going through doesn’t matter and I don’t want no kid too just feel like a case number and as if they don’t matter.I’m interested in education because we need teachers and ones that like their job care about kids and wanna see them be the best they can be and encourage them and also there’s so many other opportunities in education besides just become a teacher and still being able to work with kids and I also plan on coming back to Missouri and help my community with the degree I decide to pursuit.
