Achieving Post High School Goals
My goals during my next few years of high school include getting high grades in all of my classes including AP classes, performing well on AP tests, performing well on the SAT and the ACT, and continuing to participate in orchestra, tennis, and Scroll newspaper.
Classes I will take to achieve these goals include String Orchestra, Journalism II, Advanced American Lit, APUSH, AP Biology, AP Government, AP English, AP Statistics, and AP European History.
Volunteering Opportunities
I have been involved in many service projects through school, the community, and my church. I have been involved with numerous service projects such as helping at the LDS pear farm, and Serve Grants Pass Day. My favorite service project I have been involved in was this past December, where I collected toys for an orphanage in Panama. I was then able to go to Panama City and deliver those toys to the children.
This can help in my future career because it taught me how to effectively communicate with others to finish various tasks, as well as help others despite of a language barrier.
