"I’m a senior in Yough High School of Herminie, PA. I’ve been a Girl Scout for thirteen years. I have played piano since the age of five and in sixth grade I was awarded the U.S.A.A. Award. My 8th grade year I attended County and District band. My freshman year I joined the rocketry team and was appointed President of the organization. I have been listed in Who’s Who Among American Students, attended County and District Band, made the National Honor Roll, and awarded the Silver Award in Girl Scouts. Being involved with rocketry has shifted my earlier career selection toward operational meteorology for the Air Force. I plan to attend California University of Pennsylvania to obtain my degree while participating in the Air Force ROTC program at the University of Pittsburgh. My responsibilities are to help the team where I can as I will not be attending the Student Launch Initiative since it conflicts with our Senior Prom."
