I saw the article in the advisor, I have been familiar with some of the events they have taken apart of. I am a student at Bellevue High School, for my freshman year I was class president. I also was the student representative for PBIS and was part of student council. I am actively involved in both communities Bellevue and Marshall. Something I can bring to the council is I enjoy coming up with activities that get students involved.

I have done a few community service events over the past year, I helped with the Bellevue Good Samaritan Dinner, North Penn Field Day and Bellevue Community Clean Up. I feel it is important for the youth to be involved and have a voice in their community.

As a student in high school I understand academic pressure that myself and my peers put on themselves. I have always strived to receive A's in all of my classes. I also have pushed myself to take some pre-college classes at the University of Notre Dame and I plan on taking KCC classes in the spring semester my sophomore year. I have set some goals for myself after high school and I push myself to reach these goals by taking these extra classes. With all of these extra classes and pressure that it may bring I try hard to balance life and school work. Steps students can take to handle academic pressure is still take time for activities that they enjoy to give themselves a break from the academic work that is put on them either by the school or goals they have set for themselves. When I feel that I am becoming overwhelmed by my school work I like to take time away and relax by taking my dog for a walk, drawing and being with friends and family. I always remind myself that my grades do not define me, as well as it is ok not to always be perfect.

I will give my best to the YAC organization, I do sit on the PBIS committee at my school which meets twice a month after school. I also am on a travel softball team and take dance classes in Marshall. My schedule is busy but I do well handling all the responsibilities.
