Bio

I love art and writing. My biggest dreams are to own a small business, create my own toy line, and publish my writing. I have been taking the steps toward achieving my goals for years. For example, this summer I took the first steps toward having a successful small business by opening an Etsy store and listing things I have made, along with starting social media pages in order to learn how to promote a business. I was able to do this through a grant I received. I am a great candidate for scholarships because I am an incredibly hard worker and am very dedicated to achieving my goals. I am currently ranked 3rd in my graduating class and am in the running to be Valedictorian/Salutatorian. I have achieved a 4.083+ GPA and have taken several AP and Honors classes. I am a proud member of three separate honors societies and countless other clubs, athletic teams, and organizations both in my school and in my community. I hold several leadership roles in these organizations, including being the Stage Manager for my school's musical 2 years running and being the President of our NAHS chapter. I want to go to college so that I can learn more about the things I care about and learn more about how I can turn those things into a career. I want to create art in my own way, but also in a way where other people can enjoy it and it can mean something to them. I want my art, in all its forms, to reach as many people as possible.
