Community Service: Beginning in the 7th grade, I have been an active member of the National Charity League’s Alamo Chapter. I have volunteered at several organizations, including Haven for Hope, which serves as a refuge for the homeless population of San Antonio,

Brookdale Retirement Home, assisting and accompanying the elderly community while playing Bingo, and the San Antonio Food Bank, packaging meals for children and families. Through Rustic Pathways,

I have traveled to local communities in Peru, Laos, and Morocco, volunteering in projects such as laying a water pipeline, assisting in building schools, and teaching children English. International Experience: For the past three summers, I have traveled with a student travel program, Rustic Pathways, to Peru,

Laos, and Morocco, three amazing and immersive experiences filled with aspects of adventure, culture, and community service.

I have also traveled around Spain with my best-friend and her family and spent time on the coast of Mexico to scuba dive.

Within the next four years, I cannot wait to expand my travels within a more immersive and educational light. Personal Interests/Hobbies: I love to paint and draw whenever I get a free chance, whether it’s sitting and beginning a project, or simply sketching my surroundings on a back of a receipt. Also, even though I can never seem to find enough time for it, I also have a deep love for reading. Almost always, however, you can find me enjoying my days with my friends and family, finding fun in whatever we do. Three Words to Describe Herself: Considerate, adventurous, diligent. Fun Fact from Sofia: I stalked One Direction’s flight information before their San Antonio concert in 7th grade, September 21st, 2014 to be exact, and then I proceeded to chase their black suburbans down the highway until I talked to them through the car window when the traffic got backed up and they had to stop.
