FinalistBio
Hello! My name is Indira Serna, and I am a student, daughter, sister, and friend who values growth and connection. My life goals are to be the best version of myself and to help others achieve that same goal. I want to make sure I am putting my all while also giving it my all. I’m very passionate about learning new things because new knowledge inspires me to incorporate it into my life and grow as a person. Knowing me is knowing growth, and I demonstrate this through my hours of community service, academic excellence, and personal development. I want to make my loved ones proud, and show myself that I, too, am worthy of greatness.

My values in life and in general are to help others. Since I am currently in college and pursuing a business degree, I am working towards my goal of being successful not only in my career but also in assisting others because of it. As much as fulfilling being the "rich aunt" of the family, I'm only doing all of this to be of service and pay back my mother. I knew the business degree route was what you call "right where the money is", which is one of the main reasons I chose this route. These values show that money isn't the only thing I'm striving to obtain, but also the happiness it could produce by lifting financial burdens off the shoulders of those I love most.
Being a business major also means being an outgoing person, convincing people, or at least attracting people, to your business. I have always been told I have leadership qualities, and although I don't see that myself because I feel more of an introvert, I know when to step in and take control. I have also been told that my personality brings people in because I not only make them comfortable, but I make everything as lighthearted as I can. This, in my eyes, is giving back to the community in a way. With this being said, my dream business, which I hope to achieve, is to open my own cafe and bookstore. It's a comforting place as it is, but I know with my management I'll make all my customers feel welcome.
My values show that I'm doing business for the right reasons. I don't plan to be a snobby billionaire, I hope I can give back to my community in the ways I can. Think about Mr. Beast but as a woman. One day, with my dream business being a success, I hope I can give my business to my mother to pay her back stupendously. I am not doing all my hard work for nothing. I am doing it all to build myself a name and build myself a beautiful background. Don't believe me? I graduated with straight As, being in the top ten percent in my class, received the IB diploma, and already received straight As for my first semester in college. It's all to make my family, friends, and future significant other proud. Yet, it's also to make myself proud of the woman I aspire to be.
