December 2007 to February 2008 I was a student worker at State of Oregon in Department of Transportation. I sat at a desk folding letters, putting them into envelops, sort paper work, handle private information and organize anything employees need me to do.
After school I was a varsity volleyball and basketball player for three years. I received an award as the most improved player. I participated in the Deaf Academic Bowl, three years. My two first years, I was elected president class of 2010. I lead my class into fundraisers and guided them in extracurricular activities such as The Carnival and Valentines dance.
Then my last two years I was elected secretary in the Student Body Government. As secretary, I record important details, list complains, participate in discussion, help solve issues, help run and set up dances, give ideas for fundraisers, and do exactly what needs to be done.
I believe we as humans have the need to be loved and give love. Without satisfactory one will be unhappy or feel unwanted. Me, myself and I love to be creative and awaken all senses. I share whatever I can with those who need help or just a spark to spice up their lives.
I want to give every human I meet a hint that they have a purpose to be successful and can achieve anything they put their heart and mind into. I am raised by hearing parents and a Deaf community, both worlds have experiences that are negative and positive. I took all my experiences no matter good or bad and transformed them into beneficial learning experiences.
From there I found true love for writing rhyming poetry, letters, notes on philosophy, and drawing what I see in my mind. Therefore, I want to bring love, happiness and achievement to every environment I interact with. All of these experiences and beliefs is what I will bring to Gallaudet.
