My family has a wide range of career A
choices.
• My Grandmother was offered a full ride to
M
the University of Pennsylvania but didn’t take I
it because her father told her it was more L
important to raise a family than to receive an Y
education. She later became a pre-school
and elementary teacher.
• Both of my grandfathers went into the C
military and toured throughout Europe. When A
they came home they both went to school R
and got jobs. E
• My other grandmother moved from Scotland
to the United States and was a secretary.

• My mother is a business analyst. She R
originally wanted to be a psychology and
sociology major but her dad told her she P
wasn’t allowed. L
• My father is an accountant. He wanted to be
a firefighter but his parents told him it wasn’t a A
good enough career. N

5. Speaking for my friends and family, I think they would say that I am logical, opinionated,
and that I have a good sense of humor.
My teachers may think that I am determined and hardworking; even if I am an average
student.

6. Passions
I have many things that I am
interested in but I am truly
passionate about gymnastics.

7. Personal Dreams
Speaking on behalf of my personal
dreams, I am almost positive that I
do not want kids. I am still unsure
as to whether or not I want to be
married. I can see myself in the
future living on my own because
there are many things that I want to
do by myself ; I don’t want other
people to hold me back from doing
them. I want to live in a condo
overlooking a city with floor to
ceiling windows. I sometimes think
? that I set dreams too far but if I
don’t then I will have nothing to
strive for.

On a more professional level, I have thought of many things that I would like to do. I
promised myself when I was little that I would like to open my own gym, designated only
for gymnastics. As I got older, I realized that my interest changed. I now want to be
involved in the fashion industry. If I realize the fashion industry is not for me or is too
competitive, I would love to open my own gym.

9. Dream Strategy
My dreams are a good fit for me because I feel that dreams can never be too far
fetched. I know people doubt what I can do which is why I want to prove everyone
wrong.

10. Interests
Besides gymnastics, I also enjoy art.
My favorite media to work with is paint.
I love listening to music as well as
playing the piano. Even though I may
not be strong academically, I know for
sure that I have a large imagination
and determination.

11. Personal Flaws
I have many personal
struggles such as:
I am easily frustrated and I
am incredibly impatient. I
also dislike how I start
things but I feel like I can
never finish them because I
drop interests just as fast as
I create new ones.

12. After working at a summer
camp, I developed the thought
of not having children. I also
realized that I dislike working
outdoors. I keep going back
each summer because the Work Experience
people I work with and the
memories I make overpower
the working conditions and kids.

After living in the suburbs for so long, I want to leave as quickly as possible. In 8th
grade I went to England and knew as soon as my plane landed that there was so
much more to offer outside of the Hatboro-Horsham community. My potential places
to live would be in the city (New York), on a beach (California), or even a different
country (Greece) to experience new cultures.

14. Academic Flaws
I absolutely hate math more than anything in the
entire world. Math destroys every sense of
confidence that I will ever have. I have no ability to
ask questions on why things are the way they are.
I do not understand why letters are involved with
numbers when they should be left for the alphabet.
I do not like things done in order and I do not like
being told how to do them. I feel like math is
pointless and completely illogical.

15. Contact Information
I can be easily contacted through either my
email or cell phone.
