I am a current high school senior at D. H. Conley High School in Greenville, NC. I am taking honors, AP, and college classes in order to expand my knowledge and prepare for college. I am a varsity swimmer, the president of my school’s chapter of Science National Honor Society and a Girl Scout Ambassador. I am also a founder of my school's first ever book club, as well as a founder of my school's first ever Mock Trial team. I am a strong advocate of the importance of literacy and education in children and adults, which has led lots of my volunteer work and projects. I believe that volunteering, community service, and helping people are my biggest life purposes, and the future careers that I am interested in correspond with them. I want to make a difference in other people’s lives through my future career, and my education is vital for that. For as long as I can remember, my parents have taught me the importance of education and selflessness through their occupation. My father is a retired fighter pilot (now a psychiatrist) and my mother is a pediatrician, and they have been such inspiration for the way I want to make a difference in the world. In the future, I plan to continue serving people in my community and around the world through the career I eventually choose.
