Hello, I’m 17 years old and a senior at Hug High School. I was born and raised in Reno, Nevada, and most of my hobbies have to do with staying home, unless it’s to be outside with nature. I love being involved in certain academics, such as history.
One of my goals for my last year at Hug High is to enjoy it and stay focused so I can graduate. Something I’m looking forward to in life is to work at a school, either as a teacher or a CIS worker. I’d love to help families, and I feel like I would be great working in a school, especially since I see all the joy in some of my own teachers and the Communities in Schools liaison—they seem to be doing what they love, and I know that I’d love it, too.
A few of my greatest values are my heart and mind. I hold everything in both, and I also value my family, friends, and teachers. I feel like I’ll hold on to these feelings and memories forever, since they’ve all helped me to learn and grow.
I believe something unique about me is my name—it has always been, and I think it’ll forever be, the most unique thing about me.
