Extracurricular Activities
Cheerleading, 08/01/16, 11/01/20, Grades 8,9,10,11, Cheerleading has taught me valuable lessons about what it means to be a team. Being a team means to be a part of something bigger than yourself. It means to show support, responsibility, willingness and so much more. I have resigned from cheerleading because I wasn't passionate about the sport. I love having teamwork and creating life-long memories and friendships. Every season of cheerleading I have been awarded with Academic success while being in a sport; 3.0 gpa or higher. I am a 3-year letter winner in cheer. National Honor Society, 11/01/19, Present, Grades 11,12, National Honor Society groups are commonly active in community service activities both in the community and at the school. Many chapters maintain a requirement for participation in such service activities. NHS elevates a school's commitment to the values of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Chapter membership not only recognizes students for their accomplishments but challenges them to develop further through active involvement in school activities and community service. Piano, 08/01/16, Present, When I was in 8th grade, I decided to do a different instrument other than the saxophone. This is when I decided to do the Piano. I love playing and I could spend hours on it. It is my distressed from a long day of school, etc.. Tennis, 08/01/14, Present, I fell in love with the sport of tennis at a young age. Though I am not in any clubs or teams for this sport, I truly love it. It is my passion! When it is a nice day out my mom and I will take advantage of that chance and go out and play.
