I have to stay self motivated because as a leader I am the driving force of the ones I am guiding. I have been an officer of my school’s Beta club for the past two years. I was the secretary my junior year and I am vice president my senior year. The Beta club is a club focused on improving our school and community.

    “You have competition every day because you set such high standards for yourself that you have to go out every day and live up to that”-(Michael Jordan).
