I am 15 years old as a sophomore in high school. I have always had a spark for poetry, and decided to use this gift to benefit a country of my heritage. Aside from poetry, I am a well rounded person. I love music, having played piano for 9 years, and viola for 2 years. I am part of the advanced group of the Central Valley Youth Symphony of Stockton, CA, and cherish every moment i am part of my symphony performing famous compositions. As an athlete, I am a year-round swimmer, competing in meets with my team, Ellis Aquatics of Tracy. As a student, I take all IB courses, and am an attorney for our mock trial team. I continue to push myself, and strive for the goals i pursue. Anything is possible. Setting your mind to it is the first step.
