Academics
I feel that i shine with academics. I keep a great GPA. I am constantly questioning my work to see what I can be doing better. I will be graduating with an advanced diploma and with a GPA above a 3.6. School is one of my highest priorities. I get along with teachers and all of my class mates. I am a very hard work and have been placed in the top of my class for my entire school years. I have been excepted to the colleges of my choices but because of money I will be attending Truckee Meadows Community College. I do have my GED, which I obtained just for fun and to prove that I could get it when I was 16 years old. On it I placed in the 4.0 range in every section. I love school and I am very excited to continue on into college. I tutor kids in math, English and government.
Athletics
I was a dancer for 12 years of my life, it was and still is a passion of mine. I have won trips to Las Angles and Las Vegas. I have won money and awards from dancing professionally. My freshman year I was a varsity cheerleader. My sophomore year I was on varsity cross country. Starting my junior year I got into Mixed Martial Arts. I have now had one fight which I won and I have my next on Friday the 13th of 2012. I train 5 days a week along with being a dance teacher. I plan to continue to fight until I can not fight any more. I plan to take this talent and help girls learn self defense. I train hard because it makes me happy. I also plan to open a restaurant which targets healthy food for athletes and those with diseases which require then to have restricted diets.
Faith
I am a dedicated Christian. I came to Christ my freshman year of high school and I have be strong in my faith sense. I am a part of Summit Christian Church. Along with this faith I try to do all that I can to help out those in need. I volunteer at the local Food shelter, I tutor kids on the weekends in math and English, I help local businesses by cleaning after hours without pay, I donate blood three times a year and I am an active part of my community by staying in touch with what its needs are. My faith in God is strong and he guides me through school and my fighting career. With him in my life anything is possible.
