My name is Olivia Hervas, and I have always struggled with focusing. Having ADHD has been a significant part of my high school experience, and it has definitely impacted my education in many ways. At first, focusing on my studies was a real struggle. During tests, my mind would often wander, and I’d find myself thinking about things that had nothing to do with the questions in front of me. This made it hard to do well on exams. Additionally, I was very forgetful, often unable to remember important details. To deal with this, I started setting reminders on my phone and even writing notes on my hand to keep track of assignments and deadlines. During my freshman and sophomore years, these ADHD symptoms were at their worst, especially because I was not yet aware I had ADHD so I thought something was significantly wrong with me. I felt like I was always in a different world, which made it difficult to maintain good grades. However, at the end of sophomore year, everything began to change. I was tested by the school, and the results provided answers to the challenges I was facing. This led to the creation of an Individualized Education Program or an IEP that was tailored to my needs. With the help of a overly supportive and helpful team, I was able to receive accommodations such as testing in small groups, having assignments broken down into smaller chunks to prevent getting overwhelmed, and sitting next to a helpful peer even though sometime that made situation worse because unfortunately endless talking was also a part of my ADHD. Junior year was a turning point for me. I relied heavily on these accommodations, which made a big difference in my learning experience. By the time I reached senior year, I had developed new strategies to manage my ADHD. I learned how to prioritize my tasks by setting alarms to remind me of important activities and writing down reminders to help me remember things better. I also discovered the importance of time management, setting aside specific times to work on school assignments to avoid procrastination and late submissions. My journey with ADHD has been challenging, but I have learned how to manage many aspects of it on my own. Now, I am able to focus better on my schoolwork and succeed in my education and life. Through resilience and support, I have found ways to sparkle and achieve my goals despite the obstacles ADHD presents and I believe that anyone can pursue what they want and not have ADHD hold them back.

As a child, I was drawn to stories of justice, where my heroes used words and morals in stead of weapons to win battles. Watching "Legally Blonde" inspired me to pursue a career in law, I admired the main character's determination and wit. Later, in my teenage years I looked up to the renowned defense attorney, Leslie Abramson, known for her work on the Menendez brother case. Her skill and dedication continued to fueled my passion for the legal field. These influences sparked a passion in me for justice. I plan to major in Civil Law and minor and in Political Science. My goal in life is to better the world one fair trial at a time and maybe even become a politician one day. In our modern world division constantly overshadows unity, I will stand as a firm centrist not fully aligning will any political party. I believe in the power of dialogue and understanding, which would bridge the unfortunate gaps that politics has created. I dream of a world where differing opinions are met with respect, allowing relationships to thrive despite ideological differences. My journey will begin in a courtroom. As a lawyer, I want to be known for my integrity and winning cases fairly. I aim to be a beacon of honesty in a field clouded with skepticism. The legal system should be fortress of truth, not a playground for destruction. Too often politicians judgement is clouded because they are being bribed or payed off to have certain views. That starts the societal decay. I am determined to be different whether that means influencing change behind the scenes or being the face of change in front of millions, my goal will always be to uphold the truth. I aspire to inspire people through transparency and sincerity. I hope my career will be a testament to integrity and a catalyst for change because that is what this world need to continue with its head above water. I want to be more than just a participant in the changing world I want to the pioneer of this movement, paving the way for the future's focus to be on justice and honesty. Hoping to be president I would promise to represent truth, strongly face adversity, and make a positive impact one step at a time. I would handle each issue as a stepping stone to permanent justice in society. Every decision I plan to make would be committed to fairness and ethical reasoning. I believe that words and actions should always match and that you should never lie, so I hope to encourage honesty and integrity to people and explain how important those qualities are in a society. By fostering a community and lifestyle where truth prevails I believe this world can have a bright future.

If I had all the money and resources in the world to make a difference in mental health, I would visit every high school globally. Studies show that 22% of suicides and suicidal thoughts occur during the teenage years of a persons life. The troubling part of this statistic is that signs of suicide in teenagers, or SOS, aren't as prominent as adults. Most teenagers going through a suicidal period appear happy and healthy, effectively masking their SOS. Although high schools have plans and awareness programs about SOS, in my experience, they often feature the same outdated videos that have been shown since elementary school, making them less relatable. Teenagers need a real connection with someone who understands them, as well as training on recognizing the daily masks worn by those with depression. Lastly, I would allocate the funds to schools to hire more counselors who would meet with every student at least once a month, and have there door open to any one who needs someone to talk too. This plan would provide a safe space for teens and hopefully better their quality of living.

Taylor Swifts new album "The Life of A Showgirl" is a perfect portrayal of all the difficulties she has had to face over her years of being famous. Taylor has many memorable performances, but only one stands out as a meaningful performance. This occurred in her highly anticipated Eras Tour on August 3rd 2023. In her Red Era part of the performance Taylor performs a song called "22", in this song she wears a black sequin hat that she gives to a fan at the concert. It is a very simple yet profoundly touching gesture, but on this particular day it had true emotion behind in. That night Taylor had decided to give the iconic "22" hat to Kobe Bryant's daughter, Natalia. This act was far more than just a mere prop exchange. It symbolized Taylor's enduring commitment to her fans, but most important I showed the empathy she contained as a person. By choosing to honor Natalia Bryant in such a public way, she also chose to honor the girls father, the late Kobe Bryant. Taylor was good friends with Kobe and continues to show compassion for that family. This gesture demonstrates her innate ability to empathize with people and shows her true character as a person, behind the fame. Taylor's ability to connect with every single on one her fans with out having to speak to them is a truly amazing characteristic that solidifies her status of an artists who cares. She is someone who shows her personality the same way through her actions and words. Moments like these in her career underscore the deep emotional connection she has with her fans. As Taylor continues to evolve gestures like this highlight her influence so far and light the way for any future influence.

Throughout my life so far finding a place where I belonged was a challenge. As a child, I often felt like an outsider, drifting between one friend group to another trying to find a true connection. This changed dramatically in the fifth grade when my mother decided to take me to the ASU Gamage production of Wicked. Having been familiar with the Wizard of Oz I was thrilled at the thought that the universe had been continued. Little did I know that this play would spark a passion inside of me for theater. Wicked was more than just a performance, it was an unforgettable experience that opened my eyes to an amazing world of storytelling and performance. The well though out set designs, compelling music and intricate characters instantly captivated me. It was as if I had found a new world where I could express my self freely. Inspired by the magic of Wicked I joined the theater club at my elementary school and was eager to participate in every opportunity that came my way. My first role was a zombie in the play Zombieo and Juliet, and later I was chosen to be a guard for the play Aladdin. Even though those two roles were very small it just continued my connection with the theater community. Unfortunately due to Covid, I was able to perform Aladdin which temporarily halted my journey. As I entered middle school I enrolled in the technical theater class. Here, I discovered new aspects of theater and loved it. The behind the scenes work was even more exciting than being on stage. As I transitioned to high school stayed in technical theater classes as it quickly became a safe haven for me. Throughout my high school years theater has provided me with a sense of belonging and purpose. My journey with theater, which began with theater has shaped who I am today. It gave me a community and a platform for my creativity. Wicked is not just a play for a me it was my catalyst for finding a world where I can truly fit in and it continues to inspire me everyday.

Growing up I was captivated by the world of theater. At a young age the colors, songs and emotion on the stage fueled my passion for theater at a young age. My theater journey began with me taking a half year course of technical theater in middle school in which I instantly knew this is what I wanted to do in high school. As I entered high school my freshman year with tech as my chosen elective I was prepared to give this class my all. During my freshman orientation I met Mr.Merritt a jovial teacher with a Santa Claus-like appearance. His witty humor and undeniable passion for theater were infectious. I was committed to this environment, and eager to prove myself. Little did I know that he would and did become more than just a teacher; he would be the light in some of my darkest times. In the early months of my freshman year, I thrived under Mr.Merritt's guidance and quickly grew a close connection with him. Later in the year he entrusted me with the opportunity to be the assistant stage manager for the upcoming play. This was such an honor for it is extremely rare for a freshman to be granted this opportunity so I embraced it with confidence and determination. Unfortunately the pressures of adolescences caught up with me at the same time causing me to participate in vaping. Mr.Merritt called me out of class with clear disappointment and told me that my role had been taken away. It was a painful less but it was as necessary one. This mistake set the stage for my future personal growth. Sophomore year brought many challenges. I was given head of marketing for various productions thought the year; a vital role but one given to me with caution due to previous missteps. However my mental health overshadowed my responsibilities that year. My ongoing struggles resulted in a stay at a mental health facility. That stay resulted in me missing opening. Once again I had proven unreliable which haunted me day in and day out. I hated being the though of being unreliable especially in something something I loved so much. Despite my constant failures and let downs Mr.Merritt always to put my mental health first. Confusion about his faith in me led me to start to believe that I had an ability to do great I just needed to pursue those great things. Junior year turned out to be a public train wreck that everyone at schools saw and judged. I found myself engaged in a secret relationship that led to complications beyond my control. A trap phone, heartbreak, and a restraining order quickly became my reality leading me to loosing all of my roles in theater that year. I had disappointed my teacher again. Finally in my current Senior year and was given the chance to redeem myself as head of sound for the first play of the year. This was the first role I completed successfully, testament to my growth and resilience I had cultivated from Mr.Merritt's unwavering support. Leaving me the rest of this year to earn new opportunities. Through his mentorship I learned the importance of perseverance, self improvement and the power of second chances. Mr.Merritt taught me what it means to grow and improve as a person leaving me eternally grateful for his guidance. His belief in me when I struggled to belief in myself, transformed my life. I owe so much to the lessons learned in theater and Mr.Merritt how showed me the true meaning of resilience.
