An A+ for Advocacy

I help with the Well-Equipped drive every year. We partner with ten local non-profi ts to supply period products to those in our area who would otherwise have to go without. This year, I managed our social media for the fi rst time, and we collected over 37,000 products for our neighbors in need.

Embracing the perfection of imperfection

I would say always be yourself. Never doubt who you are. It isn’t worth your time to try to fi t in with the crowd. Just be yourself, people are going to judge you, some people might not even like you, but if you are true to yourself none of that matters. Be smart, be quirky, be funny, be optimistic.

I’m a dancer so it’s diffi cult to balance schoolwork with my dance schedule. I dance fi ve days a week after school and then throughout the day on Saturday. I usually fi nish my homework in school after I fi nish classwork, during my breaks at dance, or late at night when I get home from dance.

Take a Bow

I am most proud of my time-management skills and grades. Having good time management skills helps me with my busy schedule, and I take pride in my grades and in the self-discipline it takes to achieve them.

For the Love of Fur Babies

I’ve wanted to be a veterinarian for almost my whole life. I love animals and I love people. A lot of people depend on their animals, so the thought of being able to help others by helping animals sounds amazing to me! I think I’d like to open a veterinary practice in North Carolina and focus on smaller animals. A Helping Hand

My mom is my biggest inspiration, she is everything I want to be as a woman. She is smart, kind, funny, and builds people up. My mom has inspired me to put my extra time into helping others and always being kind even when it’s hard. She has also helped me learn to slow down and take breaks when I need them.

Leaping over Obstacles

When I was younger, our family moved around a lot, so it was really hard making friends and having to move again and again. Now, living in Mooresville, I have met amazing friends that I know I’ll have my whole life. I love my two best friends, Camryn and Ember. They have helped me with the Well-Equipped Period drive, and they support me through everything. w
