Ever since I was a little girl, I dreamt beyond belief. Meaning the choice of life I yearned for at such a naive age has encouraged me to become the person that not only my parents want me to be but most importantly, the person I want to be. Being involved in a great diversity of extracurricular programs and activities in and outside of school has opened many doors for me and my future. The privilege of forming and experimenting with new ideas has always been a satisfying emphasis upon my educational career. I learned beyond my understanding at such an innocent age but I am, nevertheless, thankful for each and every moment of it. Exploring many work forces has enriched my knowledge in ways that will only benefit me in the long run: Food industry: owning a restaurant, waitressing, prep assistant, catering major food events; office positions: creating podcasts, filing, data entry, full time secretary work; as well as many other occupations. Though many have never failed to express their grief of my childhood being part-taken away, I could not be more grateful for the knowledge and experience I now withhold because of my curiosity to explore.
