I'm captain of my track team demonstrating leadership, respect, and compassion. While also on the Honor Roll and Lamp of Knowledge with a 4.0 GPA, 1590 SAT with 18 Advanced Placement classes. I will attend Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI thanks to the NCHN. My goal is to earn a doctorate in physical therapy and use my bilingual skills to help people
My supportive soccer coaches helped my confidence and composure through difficult obstacles. My hardworking ancestry reinforces my dedication to my dreams and academics by earning a 4.23 GPA including 10 Advanced Placement classes. My goal is to major in Sports Medicine at UC Davis with determination to give back to my Latino community through medicine. I'm thankful to the NCHN for their help.
