I am an 18 year old girl from Greenville, South Carolina. My dream is to become an ambassador and create good connections with other countries and to make our country flourish. I chose this future job because I love learning about other cultures and I love being emerged in what is happening in the world. I fluently speak Spanish and English, I think that this skill helps me identify with a lot of interesting people. I want to help my community and family also. By being an ambassador I can work on problems, at the source. I want a better life for everyone, including myself. This career path exited me because I love traveling, seeing new things, having connections around the world, and to be in somewhat of a power position to make decisions for the best of our country. I hope to have an impact on the world and on the women in the United States. By inserting myself in what is predominantly a mans field, I can rise to the top and inspire other girls to follow their dream, even though it might be hard. I have always worked very hard for where I am now. I am in IB classes and I have done AP and Honors in the past. I want to sell myself to colleges to be able to be enrolled and make my future shine. Although I have been accepted into a terrific college with a great program I want to make myself comfortable and make sure I will be able to attend the college for all of four years, regardless of how I am doing financially. I have worked too hard to no be able to keep going on with my studies. Pertaining to women's empowerment, I have pushed my school and states opinions on girls sports. I have been enrolled in wrestling, and by not having girls and boys wresting I was forced to wrestle with boys where they had more muscle in their left leg than my whole body. I helped gain our wrestling program four girls to help wrestle in the name of girls wrestling. From much hard work and a lot of determination I have finally beat my first boy in a match. This was a turning point for me and showed to many coaches that I can implement myself and when I put my mind to something I will accomplish it. Our very state has seen my and many others girls dedication to the sport and this year they have created our own girls wrestling, apart from the boys. This breakthrough made me feel as if I was apart in something big and I want to further more help empowering women in sports and just the world. Although this year I was not able to wrestle this year because I am woking like a dog to make sure I have the sufficient finances to put me through college, I still was able to cheer on my past girl friends and see how I contributed to the sport.

I would never think of myself as a nice person. I believe that in being nice, you let many people walk all over you. Some sayings like, "She's too nice to say anything" makes me believe that you can be take advantage of as an individual. Being taken advantage of is something that still happens to me to this day, but I am more aware of situations form what happens in the past so I can apply them to the future. This is what makes a person strong, by being able to know your limits and by setting boundaries. By setting boundaries I can come across mean and insensitive, but I believe that by prioritizing your well being is way more important than abiding by someone else's wishes. Although I do not consider myself nice, I indeed consider myself to be kind. By seeing someone struggling speaking English, someone sitting alone, or by just doing something for someone for no reason at all, I believe that this is kindness. I demonstrate kindness in not just forms of action to others but also to myself. To be kind to my soul, I try to surround myself with happy people and by doing things I love. Being you as a person is the best gift you can receive and give to the world. Something I do consider myself to be, is a hard worker. Not only do I try hard inside of the classroom, I work hard outside of the classroom. Taking care of my siblings and by helping out my parents as much as I can (especially moving into new houses almost every 4 years) I have applied myself to be able to work hard manually and by putting my brain to the test. Especially Junior and Senior year I have been working non stop to sell myself to colleges and to prove to myself that I am worth it. I have joined 4 sports (captain of one of them), multiple clubs (president of one of them), and many other extracurriculars just to prove to everyone that I am smart and not just a dumb white girl / dumb blonde. Getting up at 6 in the morning to go to the gym, then getting all of my work done and learning new things in school, to working doubles or sometimes triples every weekend I push myself to the limit to be able to succeed in life. My IB classes and my AP Spanish class helped me tremulously by giving me hard deadlines and not putting up with my nonsense. By the teachers not telling me that I did "good" on my essay they rather say "work on it". This is the push I needed to be able to find what I need to accomplish and it showed me a new goal in life, to be a hard worker and to help others see the potential in themselves. From a house, to a camper, and back, my parents have worked so hard for the life they have given me. My dad owns his own business and works like a dog. I love my dad but most times he is too focused on paying the bills through work that he rarely ever gets to spend quality time with us. I will be a first generation college student, and by seeing how much my parents work I knew that I wanted something different. My mother has gotten a second job just so she can help me with my dreams. I want to make my parents proud without being a financial burden to them.
