School
I entered school in preschool, and for as long as I can remember, I have enjoyed school. I've enjoyed high school and I'm really grateful for everything I've learned. I've always acknowledged that being able to go to college is a priviliege, and I'm excited for the future!

Core Memory
Core Memory
My core memory related to school is a recent one. After I received my acceptance letter from Salem State University, I was still waiting for a letter from their honors program to find out if I had gotten in or not.
I remember opening the letter and the immediate joy and relief that I felt. I was, and still am, not only excited for my future but I'm also relieved to know that all of my incredibly hard work has paid off and gotten me to a point that I'm proud of!
Friendship
Friendship Island formed in early elementary school when I made my first close friends. Friendship Island continues to grow and change as I make new friends and try to find the best friend group and place for myself. I'm incredibly grateful for the supportive and kind friends that are apart of my life.
Core Memory
My core memory for Friendship Island is also a recent one. Over April school vacation, my friends and I went to visit my twin sister at her school. My twin sister Anna is disabled and since these two of my friends had never met her up until then, I was incredibly happy and appreciative of how kind, patient and accepting of her and everything going on.

Family
Family Island was formed incredibly early in my life. Family has always meant a great deal to me and I've always recognized how important a good connection with a family is. While my family's situation is most likely different from others, I love and cherish the time that the four of us get to spend together.

At the start of this school year, my twin sister was really sick and ended up in the ICU at Boston Children's Hospital. It was one of her scariest hospitalizations yet, and I can remember how scared and upset I was. However, the fact that my mom, my older sister, and I were able to be there for and help each other through the whole situation taught me a lot about perserverence.
Kindness
Kindness
Kindness Island formed when I was a young child. My mom has always emphasized the importance of kindness and the difference it can make for others. I still work my hardest to be kind to those I come across. I also try to emphasize the importance of kindness to others.

My core memory for Kindness Island is sad yet joyful at the same time. During of the recent times my twin was in the hospital, my mom became friends with the family who was in the next room. Their child had been sick for a long time and the parents seemed really stressed out. When my mom came home over the weekend, I helped her make and package up several homemade meals for them. The family was shocked and thanked us profusely, but I will always remember how it felt to be able to help someone going through a difficult situation like our own.
Ambition
Ambition Island formed in my upperclassman years of high school when I finally discovered what career I want to pursue and why. Before I discovered my interest in social work, I feel like I was motivated but it was difficult as I didn't know what I was working for. Now, I have several hopes and dreams of things I want to accomplish in my future.

While I am incredibly excited for my future, I am also very nervous. The day that I committed to my college was really stressful for me because I've spent so long trying to figure out the right place for myself. I also feel like I'm just starting to find my self in high school despite the fact that it's my senior year, and I'm nervous to start over in college.
