I created this resume my freshman year, but I update it every few months. It includes jobs that I've had, skills, and my contact information. Every time I apply for a job I take my resume, even when it's not required. I personally feel like taking a resume to any interview puts you at a huge advantage. It gives you the opportunity to showcase your accomplishments.

I do a lot of makeup on my free time. I work for a cosmetic company Monday-Friday, then I do freelance makeup every weekend. It's something I could never get tired or bored of. It wasn't till high school that I discovered what my passion was.

I have received an honor roll award every semester of high school so far. It's a great feeling knowing hard work pays off. I learned that spending extra time studying and doing homework is all worth it in the end. Balancing a job and school isn't the easiest, but I make it my #1 priority to do my best in both.

This is a book review I did on the book "Push." I gave it a 3/5 star rating. I used to do a bunch of book reviews in my English class. It taught me how to piece my thoughts together and keep track of my readings. I learned some pretty great lessons from some of the books I've read and I love documenting them in my reviews.

This is collective poem that a few of my classmates and I created.  We all gathered "golden lines" and put them together to form a poem. We all had to work together and compromise. Poetry isn't really my thing, so this assignment taught me that it's ok to step out of my comfort zone.

I took my time while writing this and tried to make it the best quality I possibly could. I learned how important and valuable good research is.
