No person too big or too small for me to defend. Defense is pure effort and desire.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

Participating in volunteer efforts for Feed My Starving Children and small groups, I feel I've learned to lead these efforts, coordinating others Involved, giving me confidence as a leader which I really enjoy. Similar feeling running point guard.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

I was bullied but persevered through it. It affected my confidence during the stretch of time I endured the malevolent acts. However, with the supportl of family and friends, I was able to step away, build back my confidence and accomplish my goals, which in turn was respected by those who bullied me. I feel by being respectful, some of the bullies turned a leaf.
