Goals & Aspirations: “I would like to graduate high school with high honors and as one of the valedictorians. I desire to pursue a degree in Chemical Engineering with Biomedical emphasis. I also might obtain a minor in nanotechnology. With my degree, I would like to contribute by enhancing technology in the medical world.”
Sarah is Successful Because: “I am successful because of the support and encouragement from my family and friends, especially my mom. Without my mom always there staying up late with me and cheering me up, I would not be the person I am today.”
Sarah is Stronger and Wiser Because: “When I applied for the Air Force Academy, I was technically behind other competitors because I should have started to prepare in my sophomore year. However, with encouragement from my family, I trained and prepared. This experience taught me that hard work does eventually pay off and that support from my family eases the burden of difficult tasks.”
