Melissa is sophomore at Hoover High School. Melissa is honest, open-minded, fair and kind. She’s the type of person that likes to listen to music whenever she gets the chance too. Melissa has two favorite animals, which would be a German shepherd dog and a chinchilla. She also likes a lot of other things, like going on walks and while listening to music, talking, arts and crafts, late night drives and hanging out with friends and family. Some things Melissa doesn’t enjoy doing are math problems and having to eat food she doesn’t like. One of her hobbies she really enjoys is playing softball. She enjoys playing softball because she finds the sport interesting and was inspired to play by her older brother.

Something Melissa is looking forward to in the future is graduating from high school. After high school, Melissa is planning on going to trade school or community college then transferring to a four-year college. Her main goals to achieve in life is to become wealthy, successful and make her parents proud. Three of Melissa’s favorite drinks are Dr. Pepper, water and Jamaica. While her favorite foods would be any type of Mexican food and her other favorite food would be pho.

Melissa thinks if society would treat everyone with respect, kindness and honesty, that the world could be a better place, or if not it could at least improve. She hopes that with her kindness towards others, it will inspire other people to become kind.
