“I started a business [during] quarantine called “I started a business [during] quarantine called Splattered Essentials. I sell clothing and everything is custom tie dyed and designed. I have always loved fashion ever since I was very young so I wanted to start something that I had such an amazing passion for. A portion of the proceeds go to the Diabetes Research Institute to help find a cure for Type 1 Diabetes. I was diagnosed at the age of two and I am now 14 years old. I have never let it get in my way and it never will. I have had incredible experiences throughout this journey of my business. I was featured on CBS News as a young entrepreneur and gave back during such hard times, along with [being featured] in Yahoo News, Miami Herald and the Sun Sentinel. I have learned so much from past experiences and hope to learn more as I grow. This business has helped me [learn about] the business perspective as well. I have shipped over 500 orders around the country and I also have constant store orders from around the country too. If you believe in something or you have a passion for it, just go for it, there is nothing holding you back.”
“​I teach English I and English I Honors, plus “​I teach English I and English I Honors, plus one section of senior personalization. A portion of my job is to have my students find connections to what they're reading, whether it's something happening in the world around them or in their personal lives. I pick each text we read for a reason. It's my job to make sure they learn, but it has to mean something more than a letter grade. I always knew [that I wanted to become a teacher] -- seriously, I have old notebooks from as early as pre-K with lesson plans, grades and rosters that were half friends and family members, half celebrities' names. I'll never forget my full-teach internship at Florida State University when I was left alone in the classroom with real students -- my students -- for the first time. I stood there, taking it all in like, ‘Wow. This is happening’. I paid a lot of attention to who my teachers were, how they taught and their impact on my life throughout the years. I've been extremely lucky to have had and known amazing educators, even to this day. ​For me, [my favorite thing about teaching is] what happens beyond the lesson plan. I can type up the most intricate minute-to-minute, standards-based plan, yet it has no value without my students. Their reactions, feedback, questions and additional insight bring the curriculum to life. The lessons are never the same because no two classes are the same. I think about teaching all the time. Being a teacher is the biggest part of my life and I cannot imagine doing anything else. It gives me purpose. I'm not a fan [of online teaching because] it takes away so much of what I love about teaching: moving around the classroom, seeing the kids, letting them get into groups [to] discuss and challenge ideas, all of the work they'd turn in and cover[ing] my walls [with their work]. I don't think they [the students] are taking it [school] seriously and for as much effort that my colleagues and I put into trying to make the best out of the cards we've been dealt, it hurts.”
“I am a teacher assistant working in [Exceptiona “I am a teacher assistant working in [Exceptional Student Education] (ESE). I assist the teachers with difficult tasks, including helping students stay on task, small group help or really [assisting] wherever [I am] needed. I [started off as] an Elementary teacher on and off for 18 years. I was teaching fifth grade when my daughter, Josie, went through the tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas [High School]. When it was time to go back, she had a really hard time. She wanted me to work at her school, so I resigned from my job and started subbing at MSD in the ESE classes. I loved it so much, I applied for a job. There are so many reasons why I work [at MSD]. I love working with the kids and I love the staff.”
“I am the chapter founder [of Ma(s)king a Differ “I am the chapter founder [of Ma(s)king a Difference]. Our main chapter is in California but I run the Florida Chapter. I coordinate fundraisers, social media, masks collections and mask donations. Seeing the way people’s faces light up as they receive donations [as a thank you] for their work is incredible. I love the fact we are still receiving donations and we’ve given over 5,000 masks to essentials workers. As a result of the shooting, I realized how tight-knit our community could be when placed under pressure, which is [why] I believed Ma(s)king a Difference could do well. It’s time for us to give back to a community who gave so much to us when we were in need.”
“My mom told me I've been singing ever since I c “My mom told me I've been singing ever since I could start talking. She's the one who got me into it. I used to do plays and I've been in chorus ever since I was in elementary school. I've always just loved and had a passion for singing. It makes me feel happy throughout my whole body. What motivates me when it comes to singing is listening to the music, the singer and telling myself that I'm going to be like them one day. I have [a] tremendous [amount of] support [from] fans that push me. Every time I think I'm not good enough, I remember all the love I have around me. I've done a lot of things with singing. I sang at a Miami Heat game, which was Dwyane Wade's last home game, I recorded a song with the famous 70’s singer Melissa Manchester, I performed at school and I'm president of chorus. Six months after the shooting, I was very depressed on the verge of committing suicide because I was [feeling] so guilty and had such bad PTSD, but singing took so many things off my mind off. It relieved my pain in ways I can't explain. I was able to relate to songs and when I listened to happy songs it just distracted and uplifted my mood. Thankfully, I was able to get out of that horrible depression because of singing and constantly listening to music [every day]. I love singing so much and I definitely want to make a career [out of] it. I want to be a music therapist. Since music helped me so much when I was going through a really tough time I want to be able to help as many people as I can with music as well.”
“The Florida Board of Governors makes all of the “The Florida Board of Governors makes all of the decisions for our 12 public universities and they have not gone test optional yet for this admissions cycle. I have tried multiple times to get through to the board, but I have just been passed around by low-level employees who refuse to pass on my concerns. Not going test optional alienates students with learning disabilities, accommodations, health conditions, families with low income status and everyone whose [college entry] exams have been cancelled. Personally, I don’t have a score and both my SAT and ACT have been cancelled five to six times each. I’ve [already] had a public Florida school tell me that my application is excellent and I would fit into their community, but they are unable to grant me admission until I submit a score. This situation is frustrating because I tried my hardest in high school to maintain good academics and extracurriculars, only to be held back by one aspect of my application. It’s unfair to punish students because there is a pandemic. If anything, the Florida Board of Governors should have empathy for students. The only two schools on the top 100 public universities that have not gone test optional, are the University of Florida and Florida State University. I know the presidents of a few Florida universities want to go test optional, but cannot because the FLBOG makes that decision. If it weren’t for [them], I know that our public universities would have gone test optional by now. In the spirit of Generation Z, I figured it is best to spread the word via social media and recruit my peers to put pressure on the FLBOG.”
“The recruitment process filled my head with [a “The recruitment process filled my head with [a lot of] emotions. It was time consuming, stressful and fun, [but] in the end it was definitely worth it. Northwestern [University] had the perfect balance for me. It is a top 10 academic school and [its] Division I lacrosse program [is in the top 5]. I completely fell in love the second I stepped on campus. I also knew the coaches at Northwestern were the people I wanted to be coached by. The school embodies everything I want in a university and checks all of my boxes. When I committed to play lacrosse at Northwestern it was definitely one of the best feelings and I would say that was one of the most exciting days of my life.”
“I started a movement a couple months ago regard “I started a movement a couple months ago regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and it’s called ‘Promise to Humanity’. I started it with my older brother Adam, who I would definitely say is my role model. It’s a movement asking individuals to sign a pledge, vow to wear masks [and] practice social distancing in the effort to slow the spread of the virus. [So far] we’ve collected over 10,000 pledges and [have] been in contact with Matthew McConaughey, [who] signed the pledge and we are speaking to Dr. [Anthony] Fauci in [a few] days which is very exciting. It’s something that is special to me because my little sister happens to have Type 1 diabetes, so she is at a very high risk to this virus and we’ve been so adamant about keeping everyone safe, wearing a mask and just following all guidelines, so that’s something I’m very proud of. We’ve worked hard since we started in May and we have established some pretty crazy connections with different celebrities, so it’s [awesome to know that] we’ve made a difference. We’ve worked with the World Health Organization as well and we actually got invited to a Youth Alliance Program and we sent out a survey for ‘International Youth Day’ to get a little more information about how students and young children are feeling about the virus and how they have been dealing with it, so it’s been pretty cool to work with them [as well]. We’ve made change and [have] definitely been impactful on the community and the world and I can say that I am proud of myself for doing this.”
“I posted a video on Youtube about my experience “I posted a video on Youtube about my experiences following [the events of] Feb. 14 2018, and the video has gained a lot of views since then. [Approximately] over a year later, a student from California reached out to me about starting a play based on different stories of people [who have experienced] gun violence. The one-woman play was written, created and performed by Ava Hase and directed by Oscar Falcon, students [from] the California Institute of the Arts. The production is entirely student and donation funded. They were raising funds to premiere in Los Angeles, New York City and possibly Scotland. They had two tech runs [and] were supposed to have their premiere in spring [of] 2020, but that didn’t happen, so right now it's on hold. This whole project has been an amazing reflection on my own personal well being. My mental health has improved tenfold since I recorded that video and uploaded it for thousands [of individuals] to see.”
“Last year, I was selected as one of two student “Last year, I was selected as one of two students from Douglas to take part in the Bloomberg Advisory Committee. Basically, we worked with a panel of other people to give a student's perspective on the public art that they chose to put on. We worked with these artists to help develop the structures they made. It was just a really great experience because it allowed me to heal after the tragedy and I got to experience working with very famous and well known artists. I'm also in AP art and I get a lot of my frustration out through art because I'm able to create many different pieces and be as creative as I want to create my portfolio. It's something that I can take up a bunch of my time doing and I'm very thankful for that.”
“When I moved from Tennessee to Florida in June “When I moved from Tennessee to Florida in June of last year, I was severely depressed and had anxiety. You don't want to get up some days, you just wish that it was all done and all over so you don't have to wake up with pain anymore. I did not think that I was capable of getting through that, I always felt like a burden. I was suffering privately for three years. Then finally, my mother found out and I started to go to therapy and started taking medicine. My life completely changed because I have a different view on everything. I love helping other people, which is why I didn't want to get help for myself, because I felt like I was selfish. To me, moving and figuring out that I was actually struggling mentally was probably the most important thing that's ever happened in my life, and I think it saved my life too. Now I make it my purpose to put the things that no one wants to talk about out into the spotlight, because if we don't, nothing is ever going to happen, so I post a lot about positivity and quarantine dancing videos because I just want to put that little bit of hope and happiness into someone's day.”
“We are more connected than ever. There are more “We are more connected than ever. There are more things to do on your computer [and] on your phone than ever. Stay positive to keep your mind from wandering, I'd say pick up a hobby, or improve the hobby that you already have. The more knowledge that you fill your head with, the easier you'll get through life. You have tons of time now to do something you haven't thought of doing. I have always been making home videos. I never thought of it as a hobby or something I want to continue in life with, [but] film and television production is so much fun. It's definitely the thing for me and it was a hobby for a while. Then I started getting freelance jobs, bar mitzvahs, weddings, parties, baby showers, the list goes on. Throughout this break, I'm taking the time to not make anything like I usually do, but to learn about the craft more. As a videographer, as a filmmaker, you have to learn to step back. There's always more to learn, so I learned to take a step back and work on my craft so I could get better.”
