 Brief Overview: I am a graduate of North Arlington High School and my goal for the future is to continue my schooling and become a teacher. I was involved in numerous activities and clubs and will continue to do so when I attend Montclair State University in the Fall of 2011. I will major in Family and Child Studies in hopes of working in the education field. Once in the end of my sophmore year I will apply for the Teachers Program and then once accepted, I will continue in the education field and then work under the Early Childhood level. Education is very important to me and that is why in college my goal is to become a teacher and to work with children at the elementary or the early childhood level. Ever since I was younger, I would work with the children at my church and help them with games, activites, songs or anything else I can get involvd in. I am very passionate when it comes to kids and it is a pleasure to be able to spend time and work side by side with the. All throughout high school, the arts were a passion of mine. My musical activities ranged from being in the full chorus, the girls ensemble, elite chorus group and performing on stage in the drama club. Not only is singing a passion but performing in the colorguard for two years has been a great pleasure along with becoming Captain of the Colorguard for the 2010-2011 season. Academically I was an active member of the National Honor Society, Spanish Honor Society and the Tri-M Music Honor Society. I held positions in many activities and I also participated greatly in SADD and became one of the editors for the 2011 yearbook.
