About me
At a young age I had to have several ear surgeries to correct abnormalities inside the ear. This put me
behind 2 years in my speech and language development. On top of this in second grade I was diagnosed with
ADHD. I've had to struggle hard to maintain a B average throughout high school. I've overcome these obstacles
with a lot of hard work and determination. Along the way I've won several awards and had several accomplishments.
I couldn't have done it without the help of some of my teachers and my family. I've had a local newspaper write
an article about me as a inspirational piece, in hopes of giving others my kind of disabilities hope. I hope it has.
How I hope to make a difference
I hope to make a difference by making a positive impact on our environment and our society.
My future
I've been accepted into ITT Tech.Inst. My major field of study is Computer Drafting and Design.
It is my hope that newspapers, and the media and other organizations such as yours, continue to reward outstanding
students for their accomplishments. It makes it worthwhile, when your are recognized for all your hard work,
especially those that have disabilities. I feel it's an honor to belong to the National Society of High School Scholars.

About me
There is not much one can know about a person, without having spent every moment with them, and even then,
the feelings and emotions one may feel inside can't be expressed by another, or by an autobiography.
Every human is left to judge and perceive their lives by the experiences that they live through, and as hard
as they can try, they can never regenerate the actually truth that they learned from that experience. I have
lived my life, having the knowledge that I wish to gain only human conviction, through the experiences
I place upon myself.
How I hope to make a difference
The future is unknown, it is only the drive of emotion that causes humans to act upon the irrational thought,
and it is in this way, great people are born. Those who risk identifying with others in this world will be
the ones who see the full depth of human dignity. One may plan all that they wish, but it will always remain
in the unexpected decisions in our lives, like when a painter adds a new stroke to a painting creating a
masterpiece, or a researcher decides to remain in a small African village to further research AIDS when he
discovers a cure, when a human can find content.
My future
I wish to attend a prestigious college, which can open me up to amazing individuals and professors, and research
projects that can help me travel and experiment my desires to discover. I hope to continue participating in the
visual and performing arts so that I may one day write a book, act in a film, and become the next da Vinci. I
also hope to go to medical school so that I may further my interest and learning in biology and archaeology.
The rest will be history.
