What are your achievements? High school has been the place where I have devoted my time and effort for the past two years. There are two things that I have put more than 100% percent into though, which would be Dual Language Club and Senior Class Officers of 2009. Dual Language Club has had to be my highest priority this past school year because I was on the executive board. I was voted on early in the year so I had to spend a large part of my time working with not only the members, but the sponsors the full term. The club offers many volunteer opportunities and activities to get to know the members even further. The proudest achievement taht I received is having been chosen to be a senior class officer. It was the best thing because it is the class that votes for you to be on it. I felt very privilaged to have been voted on because I know that from that acitvity I have the opportunity to learn how to improve my leadership skills. It also gets me more involved with the many activities held throughout the school. What issues are important to you? Today the news is run by the media and can exaggerated to the extent that is wanted. Still there is an issue that seems to rarely come up, poverty. A large portion of the world's population falls below the line of what is either considered poor or worse. It is a very important issue to me because I come from a place, which is thought to be a country of low income. Some people think that poverty is an issue that does not concern them, but on the contrary it is. Poverty was caused over time by our ancestor because of wars and other problems that took power away from vonruble contries. I believe that every person should be given the opportunity to live a life whithout any worry of finances. A world where there is no suffering might only appear in dreams, but we never know if it is possible because we never pay any attention to it. Who has been an influence on you? When a child is born and you hold it in your arms you would never think if they would look up to you. Well, I think my mother might have thought that when she held me in her arms. She has taught so many things from being patient to showing me how to treat others. In my early childhood I remember her showing me the right way to introduce myself and how to treat my elders. Every single thing stayed with me, since she made sure that I never forgot any of it. A mother is a very special person that needs to be respected because they have gone through many pains including birth. I admire my mom and I will always aspire to be like her while still being me. Why do you want to attend our school? As a young girl I wanted to get married to prince charming and have many kids, well many girls did too. Yet, I would have never thought that my dream would be to go to college and make something great of myself. My castle in my present dream is called the University of Nebraska at Omaha. After only have been attending class at UNO for two weeks I have fallen in love with everything it has to offer. The university is so easy to get around in, so I know that there is not a big possiblity of getting lost. I enjoy the have a special major for those students who are undecided because I would belong in that category. There are also many soroities and many other clubs that sound really intresting. UNO is my castle where I hope my dreams to unfold and become something better. The teachers and student are really outgoing. Plus there are still many things to discover that I know will be exciting if I will be the opportunity to attend.
