About
I have worked hard like many other students to get to where I'm at. I have not only done well in school but performed on my varsity wrestling team, my varsity soccer team, I got invited to play on the regional team for Ruby, and I won a body building show. However, I came to find out that none of these matter. Their just achievements I put on paper to make me look good. To most, this will be enough, but to family, friends, and the lives I want to touch, their is so much more that is important. The path to healing traumas, growing individually, and learning how to support those in my career and in my family is what is important to me now. These achievements and grades I have now only serve the purpose to propel me towards my goals. To be honest, I'm going to need the help of honor society to help me pay for school so I can reach higher limits and expand the number of lives I can touch without having to worry about financial debt.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
I'm intending on going into social work, although the major for my college has been selected as psychology. I'm working on getting that changed to social work. I believe that it is my responsibility to grow emotionally and intellectually for the kids I will be raising, for the people that are going to rely on me, and most of all for myself.
- Graduate school interests
I have heard that boise state has a really good social work program. Right now, at least that one is on my radar. I will be doing further research to see if i'm interested in any other grad programs. I would like to get into the best graduate program possible after I graduate with my bachelor's degree.
- Outside the classroom
Growing up I had many hobbies such as Wrestling, Soccer, track, cross country, ruby and body building. I won Body Building competitions, was invited to play on a regional rugby team, and wrestled as a top state competitor. Now I do extra sports as fun and I am currently writing a poetry book.
