national society of high school scholars

The NSHSS sent me an invitation through my school counselor into their society.

Career goal: I would like to get a job at a marketing firm.
Graduate school interests: In
Outside the classroom: I got into the music industry in my freshman year of high school. I took on the art of beat-making and released my first instrumental named “FRIENDZ” on YouTube. For about a year, I posted beats to multiple social media platforms under the alias “$tix”, and gained over 1,000 followers and 50k views in the process. In July of 2020, I posted my final beat album and took a year-long break where I made went through the transition into my new persona, presently known as 509 $icario. In July of 2021, I began releasing singles, developing a name for myself in the Phonk scene (a sub-genre of Hip-Hop). With the releases of "PHONK MANIAC,” “HITMANE!,” and “THUNDERSTORM,” I have amassed over 300 thousand streams (all within the span of 4 months). I really enjoy this hobby and I hope it can someday be my full-time career as it combines my two biggest interests: music production and marketing.

I have been volunteering at Calzada's Daycare since 2018. I later was promoted to the rank of "Teacher's Assistant" in 2019.
