I am a senior at West Hall High School. Spartan Nation is my home away from home. I have been accepted to Georgia College and State University for the fall of 2015! I consider myself very active in my community, in school and out. I play varsity basketball and run varsity track. I am member of HOSA, Health Occupation Students of America, and I have gone to state many times through out my high school career. I am a FCA, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, leader. As members and leaders of these clubs, you get involved with the community on a personal level, and that has helped me as a person to grow closer to God and the people around me. In the school, I take rigorous classes to help prepare myself for college, and I have maintained a high grade point average. I tutor a variety of students in different courses to help them succeed. The classes that West Hall has provided, I was able to get a head start in the health profession and was able to pass the healthcare pathway exam. I was extremely blessed to have an opportunity to work with the mentor, Rosela, and the other co-workers in the Aeon Genetics Lab, Jill and Daniel, thanks to the Honors Mentorship Program. I want to thank all workers of the Aeon Lab in Gainesville for taking me under their wing, and giving me an opportunity to give me real life work experience. I then mentored with Mrs. Allison, the healthcare teacher at West Hall Middle School, as a teacher’s assist. I did help out in the Intro Healthcare class for 6th graders, and I enjoyed every moment!
