My Sophomore Year
I high school I was also very involved within my school and community. During my Sophomore year I founded and became president of the programming club for the remaining three years. This club was a huge success and has significantly prepared me for the work I have done as a TA at WIT. Over the summer of my Junior year I interned at BAE. Myself and a few other interns fixed up old computers for the community, we even got to keep one at the end. I was also heavily involved with my local church where I volunteered on a constant basis, helping out with blood drives, fund raising events, being a teaching assistant, and also a CCD teacher. As a supporter of renewable energies I was also a member of the green club for my Junior and Senior years.

    There is not a single feeling greater than the one you experience when you make a positive impact on someone else’s life. Thankfully, I was able to experience that in my junior year. My high school has a program called Link Crew that is designed to help alleviate the anxiety of freshmen’s transition in to high school. When I signed up to get involved, I never realized how strongly it would affect not only my life, but also the life of everyone else who came in contact with it one way or another. Junior year was my first year involved in the program. At first, I was not sure if I would be able to handle it because it was a club that required a large time commitment. I was already involved in my advisory board, student council, and also I had been on the varsity softball team for both years prior to my junior year, along with working anywhere from three to five days a week. It was a very busy time in my life for a while, but I soon came to realize that Link Crew was completely worth it once I started seeing the effect it had on my school.…
