Sara Pareja Ramirez

I’m currently working towards building experience for the career I want to achieve in, to begin with I have been in five art classes in total in high school years, currently in Draw & Paint III and AP 2D, not only that but since the career I want to major in is graphic design, I am in yearbook staff, where I get to give my creative side on pages and have recognition for my skills. On the school side I’m in honor roll, which has been an amazing experience where I get to learn so much more out of regular classes, I was also enrolled in Dual Enrollment, which also helped me build experience on what to look forward when enrolling in college, especially since I’m first generation. Outside of school I also love to be part of the community, I love to volunteer at my local church, and different opportunities some of the extracurriculars I’m enrolled in give. I am also part of National Arts Honor Society (NAHS), National Hispanic Honor Society (NHHS), BETA Club, and SkillsUSA, These are all opportunities that are connected to Graphic Design because I get to show my creativity, the same way I do for my art classes, and to be part of the executive board for NAHS and NHHS as a social media manager on each one, I’m also enrolled in two sports, Swimming and Flag Football as a manager, I’ve built amazing skills that help me become faster and focus more on a task, not only that but I am a social media assistant for swimming and a photographer, I love photography as well. As a first generation student who moved to the United States almost six years ago with no knowledge in this language, I have been impressed of how far I’ve come ever since I moved in, it took long to get to this point where a lot of my teachers have been recognizing me for my efforts.
