By Lila E. from Eureka Senior High School in California

¨I´ve always had to travel back and forth a lot, because my parents live in two different places. I would always have to take independent study. It taught me what's appropriate for what situation and how to censor yourself with different people and different things…

My motivation mostly comes from the person I want to be...I want to be a well rounded person...I am proud of the person I have become today because if you even talked to me three years ago I was a train wreck. I was nothing like the person I am now...Honestly, in my past 15 years I don't think there is anything I would want to change. I really like where I am right now just because of all the different things I have done and all the mistakes I have learned from. I still ended up at this really great high point in my life and I wouldn't be here without those, so I am really happy with what shapes me to the person I am today.¨
