Education History
• As I was growing up adversity was a common theme. It first begin with my split home life then continuing into my school career due to a learning disability. I learned early on that I needed to build my own inner stability, especially while I lived through the embarrassment of having an assigned teacher's aide. At home, I learned the importance of having an unwavering sense of self to give me the ability to be decisive in my decisions and knowing what will be best for me in the long run. Furthermore, my experiences of going to school with a learning disability taught me to persevere through difficult situations, and to understand different perspectives. School first taught me to persevere through difficult situations due to my inability to read properly. I learned to compensate in other ways, such as problem solving and interpretive thinking. Both of these skills developed my abilities as a leader through being able to think creatively when coming up with solutions. Next, my learning disability taught me to see new perspectives through the diversity of my classes. I have always tried to push the boundaries going to both assisted learning and then also entering challenging honors and AP classes when in high school, through both of these experiences I have had the chance to work with a wide range of minds each teaching me a new lesson towards becoming a stronger person.

My career goals:
It is hard to say what shaped me into being a kid on track for law school, but it is pretty fair to say it started with my tenacious nature and love of formal banter. From a young age I always felt the need to push the envelope. As I got older this skill started to flourish into lively discussions at home, and rigorous debates at school. In fact, the first time I truly knew that I wanted to practice international law was at my first model UN with my school. It took place February of my freshman year. I was nervous, but ready to discuss the pressing issue of GMOs in Syria. After spending a weekend discussing this issue and its relation to global affairs I knew that this was the right place for me. As soon as I got home that week I cultivated my plan for post high school life: including college, law school and ultimately practicing law. Not only do I appreciate the intellectual drive behind law, I also love the use of advocacy for creating a stronger global society.

History
I was born into a family that would never live under one roof. By the time I was nine months old, I lived in two drastically different homes.Though I felt love and grew to understand the importance of family, the conflicts in my childhood shaped my character. Having parents who were never married and did not live together set me apart from my peers; most of whom grew up in affluent, traditional homes. In addition to my unique family dynamics, my early education was marred with a tremendously difficult time learning to read. I enjoyed reading and I was able to remember every detail of any spoken conversation. However, I had a number of issues with reading fluency and writing coherently. This became another barb in my social persona that would haunt me for many years. These experiences caused me pain, but they have become the cornerstone of my desire to make the world a better place. I plan to do this as an International Human Rights lawyer.
My first experience as a leader came on softball fields as I played on competitive travel teams. Having coaches and teammates who relied on me developed many leadership skills. However, my fondest memories were of volunteering. For two and half years, my team would volunteer for various pediatric cancer activities. We participated in 5K races, holiday gift drives, and attended holiday parties. After attending my first holiday party, I was deeply touched by the courage and the strength of these kids. Watching them struggled to regain their health while showing so much compassion struck a chord in my heart. One young girl in particular had lost her hair through chemo treatments. She had been fascinated with my hair. I knew she was sad that she did not look the same. Immediately after the party, I decided to cut off more than 12 inches of my hair and donate it to Locks of Love. As a seventh grader, part of my identity was wrapped up in my long hair. To cut off over a foot of my hair was drastic, but it was amazing to know that I could help someone during a tough time. Over the past six years, I continue to donate my hair to Locks of Love.
I attend a high school with a population of approximately 3,300 students. As an incoming freshman, I knew I needed to get involved so I could find my niche. Early in my freshman school year I was nominated to become apart of the Student Senate. It was a small group of students who had been identified as potential leaders in the school set
