Amy E. Waldron, Muncy Senior High School,
Business Management Pennsylvania State University, Altoona Campus

As a senior at Muncy High School, I, Amy Waldron, am looking forward to pursing the next steps toward achieving my lifetime goals. It is my intent to graduate from Penn Sate University with a master’s degree in Business Management. I have decided to pursue this degree following my success participation in the State Future Business Leaders of American competition in both Business Law and Business Management Decision Making.

 

Due to the opportunity of working with the programs B.U.I.LD. and youth leadership Lycoming, it has been brought to my attention the needs of the resources of our community. As President of the Muncy Key Club, I have been able to organize and participate in programs to help others in need. Because of having these experiences, I am driven to succeed in my profession. I look forward to having opportunity to give back to my community by aiding future students in having the same or similar learning experiences.

 

One way I have been inspired to help others in need is through the early death of my thirteen year old cousin, Ellen Waldron, due to a Brain Stem Glioma. She was in individual of kindness and inspiration. Even when times were tough; she never lost her faith or hope. Motivated by her, I have been involved in the 5k Race for Hope in Washington D.C. for the past four years helping raise money in hope of finding a cure for this tragic illness.

 

Along with volunteering my time; athletics has played a huge part in the development of my character. I was district champion and state qualifier in swimming for all four years as well as varsity letterman in field hockey, and track. Throughout my athletics I managed to maintain honor roll status. Athletics has helped me learn the importance of time management, commitment, determination and I have enjoyed the taste of success. Realizing what it takes to be successful, I have the competitive drive to se goals and meet them with the highest standards. I aspire to be a role mode, and have a positive impact on younger individuals.

 

Being elected CEO of my synthesized company at Pennsylvania Free Enterprise Week (PFEW), I learned the importance of the diversified nature of individuals and their specialized talents; showing how everyone can work together to accomplish any task.

 

I was able to enjoy some of my other interests by participating in Christian Club, Student Against Destructive Decisions, Foreign Language Club, and Art Club. Feel that my experiences make me a well rounded person whose eyes have been open to the many ways I can contribute positively to society.

 

I would like to conclude by thanking you for the opportunity. I appreciate your contributions in helping students reach their goals while in pursuit of maximizing their potential.
