ATTRIBUTES
Arts
Arts

I excel as an artist. I've been in an art school since middle school and my first year of high school. Upon switching school I enrolled in art class there and have been one of the most succesful painters in my classes. I have had my work in school galleries and also had my work reach regional level in contests. I am a yearbook layout editor, I basically organize how everything goes on the pages using my artistic skill. I also am enrolled in Advanced Placement 2D Studio Art. I keep up with my projects and have no trouble coming up with original ideas.

I like to think of myself as a natural born leader. It comes natural for me to take charge in activities. I've been the leader and coreographer at my school for the annual Multicultural festival for three years. I lead the Latino group, every year I come up with an original dance routine and teach it to my group of dancers. I also am a 2 year officer of the Spanish Club. I have been part of the Advisory Chair Commitee and have been Vice President. I also am a yearbook editor. I make layouts, assign staff to pages and make sure all the work and content is approtpriate and ready to be submitted.
