Chick-Fil-A Leaders Academy:

I was in this academy my Sophomore and Junior year of high school. I was a part of the leadership team for our end of the year project last year. This project included building a greenhouse, chicken coup, and many gardening beds for a local organization called Saving Grace. I was over the fundraising for this project. It was an incredible experience to be able to be involved in giving back to others. I spent around seventeen hours preparing for this project, and organizing the funds.

American Heart Association Sweethearts:

My Sophomore year of high school, I was able to be a sweetheart for the American Heart Association. This organization is for girls to engage in and fundraise for the American Heart association. I raised over one thousand dollars for this organization. Through this, I got to collect many service opportunities and ended up serving ten service hours.
