"City Year is a program that I have decided to pursue after high school. It is a program that is eleven months long. Basically, it’s a group of many young adults coming together to help students who are not matching their grade’s standards. It is from third grade to about twelfth grade. I decided to stay in Boston to be around my family and friends. I will be mentoring the kids- similar to action service. You’re helping kids with their homework, helping children attain different skills… many of the kids I met on shadow day struggled with speaking English, some lived in a single parent home, or were even abused so they needed help emotionally. I am the extra support in the classroom besides the teacher. After I am done with City Year, I would like to pursue education in college. I want to become a social worker within a school, or maybe become a principle. City Year is giving me a first look at school, not as a student, but as a faculty member. I will be able to see what teachers do inside and outside the classroom. I’ll be there first hand to see what actions teachers, principals, and counselors take."

"National honor society is an organization where students volunteer, fundraiser, and organize events to help those in need through hard work both inside and outside of the classroom. Being the NHS president has given me leadership experience that has influenced my outlook on community service projects, as well as fundraisers to give back to those in need. I work with other NHS representatives to organize fun events in school, where each member of NHS represents Mystic Valley with their strong academic skills and character. "

"After being notified that I got the scholarship, I was silent. When they called me after the final interview and told me, I thought it was a joke. Of course I ran downstairs and told my parents. They were ecstatic.
