My experiences in high school fueled my passion to support others and helped me discover potential career paths aligning with community empowerment.

Being a part of a unique and inclusive cohort challenged me to aim for the stars within the classroom while always practicing self-introspection.

My teachers and counselors have been great resources for me to get support and keep track of my progress.

SFUSD helped me strengthen my leadership, collaboration, and empathy skills. As a student representative, I improved my dedication, persistence, and advocacy.

Thanks to my American Democracy class, I can see myself getting more involved in the changes of a better San Francisco because the existing issues require the voices and engagement of everyone.

As a result of all the experiences navigating my high school education, I have gained leadership experience and learned to have empathy for others.
