I was not always the brightest kid, but I always tried, and i was always taught to never give up. A few months ago I faced one big challenge in my life. After many doctor visits I found out that I have a health condition. This caused me to miss a lot of school, and it affected me physically. However, it did not stop me from trying my best in school. What have you done to make your school or your community a better place? What I've done along the years is give back to my community. I’ve helped in soup kitchens, went to give food to the homeless, etc. I grew up not being able to have the best things, but I know that I am blessed to have what I have. I was raised to always give what you can to help others, and always have a big heart. I have not joined school clubs, but I have been on morning announcements to make people laugh or brighten up their day.
