I one day hope to own a restaurant and a hair salon.

I would like to take this time to thank the selection committee for your nomination and ask for your support. As a member of the Hoover Elementary School chapter of the National Honor Society, I will continue to demonstrate excellent character, support my community and continue to remain on the honor roll.
