Ever since I could remember, I've always had a passion for fashion and design. My grandmother was a seamstress in Mexico, and she is the person who taught me to sew by hand and take measurements. As a child I used old clothes and scrap of fabrics that she would send me, to make new clothes for my dolls. As I got older, I saved as much money as I could to buy a sewing machine. Little did I know sewing machines cost more than ten dollars.

I've been an avid club member for 3 years, Vice President in 11th grade, and President in 12th grade. By being a part of this club, I've improved my communication skills while also being able to show initiative when the former president was not around. Being a member of this club is what helped kickstart my new hobby which is upcycling. We had to bring in any article of clothing that we haven’t worn in a long time and give it a new life; just how joining the Fashion Club gave me a new life. I've dedicated 100% of my time when I am not focused on my academics, to this club and I don't regret any of it.

This year I created a donation clothing drive that not only the members of fashion club could donate, but as well as my fellow classmates and even the faculty and staff. By getting the school to rally up for a greater cause we can help the about 58,790 homeless people living in Los Angeles alone and less fortunate living in Southern

I told myself if I ever decided to become a member of a sorority it would be based solely on their ethical standards, history, and values they are founded upon. Alpha Kappa Alpha, Incorporated consists of ladies of distinction and exemplary character who excel in scholarship, leadership, and service, which are qualities I have chosen to uphold. From my perspective, I encourage myself to maintain a respectable appearance and reputation which doing so inspires me to embrace my self-concept; which helps me confidently excel academically and professionally as a “lady of distinction” and “exemplary character.” Most importantly, I continuously remain involved in community service, being involved allows me the opportunity to learn and understand the lives and circumstances of others by opening my mind, heart, and soul.

    Over the four years that I have spent at Good Counsel, I became part of many activities. Each helping me evolve as a person and become stronger yet. Simple lists could be made of every activity that I have ever been involved in but it could never express to a person what I have learned and how it helped me to grow. Every environmental club, science club, political science club, service work, and S.A.D.D. club I was part of had a very special message to deliver to me. Whether the message was one of responsibility, or a life lesson, I grew from it. The Political Science club opened me to many new experiences. It allowed me the chance to attend the Model U.N., where I was asked to address today's top world issues. This club was very beneficial to me because I was exposed to topics and ideas that I had not previously been able to discuss or learn about in a classroom situation. The science club allowed for me to experience extra educational situations as well. I took part in a hovercraft competition, which was very educational while also allowing me the chance to work with others for a common goal.
