What qualities or unique characteristics do you possess that would allow you to contribute to the UCF community?


Three unique qualities that I possess are: my exhibition quiet strength and determination, my love of writing, and my desire to help others.
One of my qualities is my exhibition of quiet strength and determination, as shown by some of my accomplishments below. I lettered in swim team after swimming after one year. I had not competitively swum since I was nine. I swam every morning from 6:15 a.m. to 8:15 a.m. before school and had “dry land practices” every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. In the dry land practices I ran at least a mile and did a plethora of vigorous work outs. I also received the award for most improved in choir after only singing in it for 2 years. I had never sung prior to high school. I joined intending to improve my singing for drama, but became truly only interested in singing. I always put my best foot forward with a smile on my face in new situations. I stay patient in challenging situations. These include situations such as helping administration with scheduling.
One of my passions is writing. I have found it to be a skill of mine. It has helped me through difficult situations. Writing is my way of showing how I think, without speaking it aloud. I really enjoyed writing my essay for National Honors Society and feel it is one of my better pieces of work. I believe my essay helped me get inducted into National Honors Society in my junior year. Writing poetry is especially resonating to me. It relaxes me and keeps me calm when things get hard.
Another unique characteristic is my desire to help others. I have done many volunteer activities through my youth group. I have volunteered in many different situations throughout my community. These include Vacation Bible School for multiple years, backpack distribution, assisting with Sunday school, charity modeling, assisting with library organization, and assisting administration in handing out schedules at the school. I am truly kind to those that need help.
