Given that I was born and raised in Puerto Rico by two Haitian parents, I’ve always had a strong concern for the poor living conditions in developing countries. For this reason, I am deeply passionate for international development focused on education, human rights and health. I consider working with the Peace Corps one of the highest possible callings.

Two of the YMCA’s biggest competitors may include Fitology and Planet Fitness.

Mrs. Fehrman, I've always taken joy in being a leader. Having the ability to help guide someone in the right direction intrigues me. That's why I would love to have a leadership position in National Junior Honors Society.

I promise that if given the opportunity, I will be a responsible, honest, creative, committed, positive, and productive leader.
