My favorite subject has always been math. Any type of math class has always been the easiest for me. I am able to understand everything that we are learning in a quick manner.

The most influential person in my life has been my sister-in-law. At a young age, she was put through many difficulties but that never stopped her from continuing her education and accomplishing her dreams.

Throughout my high school years, I have been involved with St. Mary’s Catholic Church. I am a student, a youth team member and a catechist there. As far as school goes, I was involved in BPA.

Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.” This quote means a lot to me because it has helped me through some of the greatest obstacles I have encountered so far in life.
