Attending the University of Milwaukee has always been a huge dream of mine since i was a kid. My life experiences, perspectives, talents, commitments and interests will enrich the community of The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

My life experiences have made me who I am today. Throughout my years in high school, I have went through many different obstacles which made me a stronger person today.

Balancing school work, family, and extra curricular activities was tough but I always managed to make my way through it. My sophomore year I was inspired by my school social worker.

She really helped me with the obstacles I was facing at the time and helped me to get through the problems I faced. Ever since then I have wanted to help kids in my future by going

to school to become a social worker. Because I am a strong and wise person due to my life experiences, I can enrich your campus by being focused and wise with my studies.

Dance is my talent that has got me through everything in my life. I have been dancing since I was four years old. This talent I want to take to college.

I want to tryout for the UWM Dance team. This leads me to my commitments and interests. I have been committed to the Green Bay West High School Dance Team for four years.

I work very hard to better myself and my team. My Junior year on the dance team, I received the position of Co-captain.
That year, I learned from my captains how to become one of them the following year. This year, I am a captain and I am very proud of my role on the team. This position requires

responsibility, patience, and leadership. I work very hard as a captain to make sure my team is the best they can be while striving to better myself. As a captain, the other team mates

look up to me as a dancer, person, and a role model. This is a huge responsibility. How my team performs, reflects me and I am very proud of my team which makes me proud of myself.

Being on the dance team, and being a captain, taught me patience, responsibility, and leadership. These skills I can use in everyday life, in my future, and on the UWM Campus.

If I were to be accepted, I will tryout for the Dance team. I can use the skills I learned from my high school dance team to better myself as a dancer on the UWM dance team.

I am an extremely dedicated person and I will never give up. I believe that my life experiences caused me to become a better, wise, and responsible person who is able to focus on goals

for my future. My talents and commitments have also made me very responsible, and a great leader. Therefore, i know that I will enrich The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee campus's

community.
