"I completed 431 community service hours during high school, spending a lot of time giving back and helping in my community. I also graduated early in December, which I’m really proud of. In college, I’m planning to study interior design so I can turn my creativity into a career."

M'riyah Exantus 

"I am graduating a year early with a strong GPA and one year of dual-enrollment coursework with Polk State College.  I work part-time, have 177 hours of community service with my local general hospital (and counting), and successfully completed two demanding military-style encampments with the Civil Air Patrol at Camp Blanding Joint Training Center with five hours of flight time. Title: C/CMSgt- Cadet Chief Master Sergeant.
My five-year goal is to become a Physician Associate. My long-term goal is to earn my private/commercial pilot’s license within the next ten to fifteen years thereafter."

"One accomplishment that means a lot to me is finding my voice through writing, especially in pieces centered around healing. Writing has taught me the importance of empathy, listening, and holding space for others during their hardest moments. Those same lessons have guided me as I earn my CCMA certification, balance strong academics and a job, and prepare for a future in healthcare.
I invite you to watch the video of me reading this piece, because sometimes hearing the words out loud is where the healing begins. "

"I was a competitive gymnast for four years and completed states in the year of 2022. I placed first in vault, floor, and all around. It was an exciting time in my life because I have never received first place on any event."
