Boarding SchoolMap of Marondera, Zimbabwe
My life in Africa yeilded many interesting lessons that I would not have learned had I been else where. Invaluable lessons such as manners, respect and perserverence were instilled in my sisters and I from a young age, however, usually from trial and many errors! -
Pine Island Elementary
Coming from an extremely structured environment to one of complete chaos definitely took some getting used to. At Pine Island Elementary I learned to accept the fact that things were never going to be like they were, and eventually grasping the lesson that change is a part of life. -
Dance Studio
One year after moving to the US my sister and I did what most young girls desired to do: dance. I danced competively at a studio for three years. It was here that I learned that things that are worth having, aren't easily aqcuired. -
Competive Soccer TeamAfter a while, I grew tired of the dance life, and craved something more exciting. I tried out for a local competitive soocer team, made the roster, and never looked back. My soccer career quickly became successful when I was playing for the second ranked team in Florida in Naples, together, we worked hard to reach the finals of both a state and a national tournament. Soccer taught me that no matter what level you are on, nothing is more important than teamwork.

Switching High Schools was a major time in my life. Having to transition to the academic challenges of Verot taught me many important lessons; hard work, organization, and patience, are few of many. Playing sports at Verot redefined everythng I thought I knew about what it meant to be a part of a team.

Flight TrainingI will always be thankful that I played soccer at the high level I did, for as long as I did, had I not played club soocer, I would not have found my one true love: flying. Earning a Private Pilot's License has probably been the most influential event of my life so far. Flying has taught me that I can achieve far more than I ever imagined, which is an amaing concept to finally grasp.
