All About Me
Sarahi Robles
Me
I've grown up in Newton my entire life. Both of my parents came from Mexico and decided to move here. I have two older sisters, both married. Anyone who knows me knows that I have self diagnosed OCD. Between my color coded notebooks and having everything organized I tend to be too much for some people. I'm not yet decided on what major I want to pursue in college, but something that involves history and legal studies feels right to me. Although I still don't know what I want to do later on in life career wise, I do know that whatever I do I want to help others. Community service is big in my family and being able to have a job I love and also know that I am helping others would be perfect.
Travel
I have traveled along the east coast from New York to Florida from simple family vacations. I've also visited Mexico a few times visiting family. I hope to travel all over Europe during my college years. Traveling for me isn't just to see the pretty sites. The history and essence of a place is what I enjoy.
Student Council
I have been on Student Council since I was in 8th grade. It was a way for me to branch out of my shyness stage. I ended up falling in love and plan on doing it throughout my college years. I love the feeling of representing my class and showing the concerns of everyone. Improving the school through a students perspective is what I strive to do each year. It also doesn't hurt that I get to organize events and have a say in certain decisions.
Cheerleading
I've cheered off and on since elementary school. It was never something that I had a "calling" for, merely something to do with friends. I decided to cheer in high school because I love the feeling of being on the track on those Friday nights. You see first hand how the community as a whole comes together just to support the school.
Science
I've always felt uneasy about science as a whole. It wasn't until 8th grade where I thought I fell in love with the subject. The idea of the periodic table really excited me and I even wanted a poster of it in my room. After taking so many sciences classes the initial spark has faded away. I've found that to learn about science most teachers go hands on or strictly power point approach and I learn more with power points and discussions. I am "good" at science, but I don't have a passion for it.
