Amari Parker

Hello, My name is Amari Parker but everybody calls me Mari currently a senior at L.W Higgins High School, I'm 17 and soon to be 18 on March 2nd, and my favorite colors are black & pink & gray. I was born in Baton Rouge but raised in New Orleans East Plum Orchard and moved to Marrero in 2019, I plan to become a sport and medicine doctor, going to college and completing school where I’ll get my bachelor's & doctoral degree then take on medical school. My goal is to become the first doctor in my family would make me so proud, the main colleges I plan on getting accepted to are LSU, Prairie View, Clark ATL Mississippi State, Howard University, and Spelman, having a lovely and supportive family that push me but be great & wonderful teacher like Mr.Pate pushing to be successful in life as I finish my last year in high school and a handsome and intelligent baby brother that looks up to ask his role model he loves his big sister. I have amazing good siblings that's role models in my life. To sum up, the type of person I am I am a very outgoing and silly person, I'll make my family and friends are good mentally before I check on myself, I love putting smiles on people's faces when they having a bad day and are the lowest, person who gives good advice to people who need it, the person who thinks about my future every day how successful I wanna be in life and how I want my life set up, but I'm also someone who suffers from social anxiety and panic attacks that I'm overcoming the reason I joined leadership to get out of my comfort zone.

My hobbies out of schools are working out, eating all the food and softball, I played softball my sophomore year and currently playing my senior I played center field so I'm in the outfield and also like to go outside on my free thing and enjoy nature itself it brings me peace.

Deep details about me I experienced depression in 2023 in October, it was my lowest thing I felt like giving up on life and I felt like I didn't belong here because I felt alone like I didn't have no support that's because I was distancing myself from people that love me I was definitely in a dark place but I decided to talk to a therapist and to talk about it just to release all that baggage I was carrying that was taking a hold on me, learn that life shoots challenges and the obstacle it's telling you to see if your prepare for the real world if you have enough strength, I'm a person that checks up on people mentally and physically to let them know that you're not alone many people faced challenges along their journey, in my leadership class I did a lesson of mental health on how it's indisputable to take to yourself to make sure your okay mentally and I had them write down how they have been feeling to write down all their feelings that they are carrying without releasing them by writing it on a piece of paper and ripping it up and trashing it. This kind of person sums up the type of person I am. I'm kind and helpful and sweet, appreciate my mom for raising me right.
