I was in the Girl Scouts for 12 years and I recently earned the Gold Award, which is the highest achievement in scouting. I also received a Silver Magna Cum Laude in sophomore year for the National Latin Exam. For volunteer work, I am a teacher assistant in the CCD program at my church. For jobs, I work as a hostess at Vila Verde Restaurant, and I was a summer camp counselor at the YM-YWHA of Union County.
