Discovery Girls

1. If you could travel anywhere in the world where would it be and why? If I could travel anywhere in the world it would have to be Haiti. I heard so much about all of the destruction there and think I could be a help in the orphanages. If my dream to become a doctor comes true I would love to help those who need medical assistance there. 2. How does it feel to be called a role model? Being called a role model is an honor and makes me feel special and recognized for some of the things I have done. However, I also feel that I am fortunate to be surrounded by role models, including my family, friends, and the other discovery girl finalists! 3. How can you work towards social justice in your lifetime? I feel I can best can work towards social justice by demonstrating Christ-like actions; by respecting, giving, and showing compassion to everyone whether they have economic, religious, cultural, or ethnic differences. One day if I am able to make some money from my stories, I will use most of the money to help others less fortunate. When I become a doctor and get my pilots license I would like to fly to areas of the world where emergency medical care is needed, especially care for children. For now, I will continue to help others through service whenever possible.

1. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
If I could go anywhere out of the country, I would go to Haiti to help the children who are still facing troubles from the earthquake. One of my past teachers helps at an orphanage there, and I would like to go and help also. If I could go anywhere inside the country, I would fly to California, so I can see Beverly Hills and Hollywood. Also, I have never been on a plane before, and I think it would be cool to see everything underneath me and see all the clouds around the plane through the window.
2. How does it feel to be called a role model?
It really makes me feel proud, and very happy that I am a role model to other girls.
3. How can you work towards social justice in your lifetime?
I can improve social justice by just being kind to everyone, even the people that do not like me back. If someone is arguing, I think it’s best to leave them be. If someone is bullying someone, I stick up for them by telling the bully that what she is doing is wrong and hurtful.
