I am a high school senior from Rochester, Michigan, graduating in the Class of 2026. I am excited to be able to say that I will be attending Hope College in the fall of 2026. After spending part of my childhood in Texas, returning to Michigan my freshman year in high school taught me to adjust, grow and to persevere during difficult times. In an effort to make friends and feel apart of something at my new school, I joined the swim team and ended up receiving my fourth year varsity letter this winter. This time taught me the importance of discipline, teamwork, and time management through athletics. Time management is huge for me as I was diagnosed with ADHD in second grade, which has made school challenging at times, but it has also strengthened my determination, deepened my love of learning and help me to understand and appreciate who I am and how I learn. I grew up in a single parent home. I would visit my mother at work in the hospital and those moments have inspired me to want to pursue a degree in medicine, I would love to be an emergency medicine physician and be able to help others. Outside of school, I enjoy puzzles, coffee, running, watching football, dystopian movies and spending time with my family. I am motivated by service, resilience, and the desire to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.
