With these experiences and the knowledge taken from them, I feel very well prepared going into college. I plan to attend the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College of FAU at Florida Atlantic University and major in American Studies with the hope of becoming a screenwriter, producer or broadcast journalist in the future. There are so many people in the MCSD to thank for their support, words of wisdom and kindness towards me in my time as a student here. In particular, I want to shout out Mr. Ferro, Mr. Paul, Mr. Sanchez, Mrs. Hance and Ms. Line at JBHS for their dedication to my education and always being sources of joy. I also want to thank my friends for always pushing me to be the best version of myself possible.
