WHAT IF I WON THE LOTTERY? If I was to win the lottery here is a few things I would do… Help my mom become financially stable and buy her a house. Put enough money away to attend a four year university and graduating without debt. I would donate a large amount to the Maryland SPCA. And the one thing I would do for my own personal enjoyment is buy a farm and live there with my best friend. 3

WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I LEARNED IN SCHOOL? The most important thing school has taught me has nothing to do with the criteria I was taught in class but had to do with what applying that criteria could do for me in the real world. School has taught me that with an education anything is possible regardless of how much money or opportunities I have been born with. I know that with an education there is nothing I can not accomplish and with an education by boundaries are limitless. 4

WHAT WOULD MY BOSS SAY ABOUT ME? I believe that I have spent the last few years of my life going to work everyday to prove to myself and my employers that I am a reliable, hard working, honest, and smart employee. I have earned those praises by putting my job ahead of my social life, and dedicating a lot of time I could have spent with my friends, at work. I know my boss would say those things about me because the raises and position changes I have earned have complimented my changes in a positive way. 5

IF I WAS AN ANIMAL, WHAT ANIMAL WOULD I BE? If I was an animal I would most definitely, 100%, no questions asked be a house cat. A cat has the best life and there is nothing better than spending my entire day stretching, sleeping, and eating whenever I want. I really hope I would have respectful owners who knew that I don’t want a dog near me, and let me sleep on their bed all day while they’re away at work. 6

WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DEVELOP IN THE LAST FEW YEARS? In many ways I have become a much more mature and responsible person in the last few years. Since I have graduated high school I have moved into an apartment with my mom where I have paid bills I have moved up in my job due to a lot of dedication I have improved my work ethic in school so I would receive financial aid I have done all of this while still managing to spend time with my friends and family. I am very proud of how much I have grown and matured in such a short period of time. 7
