Accomplishments
As the President and Founder of Latinos Unidos, I successfully elevated the club to new heights. Being the first Latin American club at my high school, I had the honor of presenting it to the head of the school district. I created a supportive community for students who felt lost and lacked the resources to apply to college. Through my efforts, many students who once believed college was out of reach were inspired to apply. Thanks to the strong foundation and leadership I provided, the club continues to thrive and receive praise from my high school teachers.
