Speech team, Student Council, Choir,

- Being apart of the speech team has been an all consuming and thrilling challenge that consisted of countless hours of practice and hard work. I ended the rigorous speech season with awards and a new confidence about my ability to public speak and to push through discomfort.

- Student council began in eighth garde when I asked my school counselor about the best way to help my peers. The answer was to join the council. I planned events, made signs to promote school spirit and even won an award at the end of the year for the most devoted member of the team.

- Choir has been a constant in my life since third grade and has taught me to be able to manage stress and anxiety when auditioning and to make friends and be vocal
