I'm 13 years old, soon to be 14 on July 8th of this year. I have recently auditioned and been accepted into a local art school for my high school years.

One of my greatest accomplishments so far has got to be my nomination, two months ago, for Young Artist of The Year in Lee County. To be acknowledged for my photography and art work along with adults in my area was unbelievable.

I am active with my church, especially with a program called Southwest Florida Outreach. This program has a food pantry through our church that provides food and clothing to the homeless and jobless people in our city.

I spend my Saturdays, and days off school, volunteering with Outreach helping to serve the people and I also do the data entries. I feel it is important to give back!

My name is Hailey and I'm a high school junior. I've been dancing for 13 years, training in ballet, pointe, jazz, tap, modern, hip-hop, acro, praise and musical theater.

Not only do I dance, I also sing, being in my seventh year of chorus at my school. I'm in the highest chorus class: Mixed Madrigals. Along with that, I take two other chorus classes to be in my school's two show choirs: Ladies Select "Treblemakers" Show Choir and Mixed Show Choir. Show choir combines my two favorite activities-dancing and singing!

I'm also involved in Leo club, National Honor Society and Tri-Music National Honor Society at my school. Though I have a very busy after-school schedule, I'm in top classes and grades at my school. I am a hard worker and proud to be on the C-Note Teenage Panel for 2009-2010!

My name is Janea and I will be a high school junior in 2009/10 at Florida High. I love to dance, read, sing and try new things.

I'm active in my community and church. I'm a member of the National Achiever Society and presently the vice-president. I'm serving on the March of Dimes, Chain Reaction Leadership Council for 2008-2010. I'm also a member of the Tallahassee Girls Choir and Pearls of Perfection.

When I go to college I'm going to major in Biology. After graduating I'm going to apply to Dental School to study to become a dentist. I enjoy my family and friends.

I'm been told my most people I'm mature for my age and I'm easy to get along with. I say enjoy life to its fullest.

I'm a sophomore attending Suncoast Community High School in Rivera Beach, Florida. I take a variety of AP and IB courses, and am enrolled in the Computer Science and International Baccalaureate (IB) program.

I practice Choy Lay Fut Kung Fu and am in a Lion Dance Team at my martial arts dojo. I also assist teaching children martial arts during the kid's class.

Last year, I helped start a program where a small group of high school students, including me, teach elderly people how to use computers. I have designed websites for my church and dojo and also create graphics for my church's ministries.

I enjoy being with my friends and playing sports such as football and soccer. I'm an avid 'gamer' and play many video games such as Call of Duty 4.

I try to be healthy by eating the "right foods", exercising daily, and stretching for flexibility. Above all, I strive to be a kind person and am quite humorous.

I am a Senior at San Marcos High School—Class of 2010!

I currently work at A+ Federal Credit Union as a Member Associate Intern. My favorite color is green and I enjoy watching movies, playing video games, and listening to music.

In school I am actively involved in JROTC, FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America), National Honor Society, and Student Council. My career goals include joining the Air Force after college and becoming an Accounting Manager for them.

I'm off to a great start and have a lot to look forward to in my future.
