Goals & Aspirations: “I plan to attend college where I will challenge myself and explore a field that I am passionate about. I would also like to travel to foreign countries to experience different cultures in this diverse world.”
Lauren is Successful Because: “I have been successful because my parents have shown me the importance of hard work and determination. They have taught me to never give up; that failure is not the worst thing but failure to try your best is. They taught me to follow my heart and chase my dreams.”
Lauren Looks Up To: “I admire my Aunt Kristina. She had a baby and was diagnosed with cancer in the same year, and she has never given up hope nor laughter. She has taught me that things in life may happen that you never expect, but everything happens for a reason. She has inspired me to live each day with a purpose and never have any regrets.”
