pep club, and community service. My aspirations included excelling as a student-athlete, maintaining good grades, and having a positive outlook. I worked hard to become a cheerleader, a competitive dancer, a dedicated student, and excel in my classes at YVC. While I faced setbacks and failures, they taught me that success often requires overcoming life's challenges."
Aniyah has a clear vision of her post-high school goals. She plans to complete her prerequisites at YVCC and transfer to Bellevue College to become an Ultrasound Technician. As for life goals she wants to be able to help make a positive impact on others and continue to learn new skills and ideas. She envisions eventually owning a home, driving her dream car, and starting a family. She's appreciative of what she has and recognizes the immense support and sacrifices her parents have made to facilitate her education and upbringing.
Congratulations Aniyah , wishing you all the best and a "Meaningful Life"!
