What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I served on my middle school leadership team and organized our WEB leader program. I also volunteer once a month at the library to read books to children. I was also selected as the SAAC representative for my high school.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

When I was 11, I fractured my thumb when it got slammed in the classroom door at school. I was not able to play volleyball for about 2-3 months and it was really hard to sit and watch and not play. However, I learned a lot about being a good teammate and supporting each other.
