She was very productive learned the value of teamwork and helping others around the house as well as outside the house with schoolmates and new friends.

She became an officer in the “Spanish Club” as well as became an active member in the school “Sustainability Club “and if that didn’t keep her busy she was nominated as President for the “One World Youth Club in addition to starting a job at “Ralph’s Ices”.

Personal growth wasn’t the only thing important she set physical fitness goals and became a better athlete.
