Summary
Since entering High School I have 170 service hours through The San Antonio chapter of Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF), all while being a leader at my high school.

Since being a freshman in high school I have accomplished many things. One of the things I am the most proud of is being chosen to be a Children's Congress Delegate for JDRF (now Breakthrough T1D). I was 1 of 160 people selected out of 800 people that applied, and I enjoyed representing my organization, Uvalde, Knippa and myself.
I have also become a leader. I often am found leading projects and events in my school and community.
