Who Am I?

    

    My name is Juliet Vargas and this is my blog. I was born in Miami, Florida, but my father was born in Colombia, and my mother in Cuba. I'm currently a Senior at Miami Lakes Educational Center studying Journalism, and I am going to graduate with my high school and Cambridge diploma. 

    I was a debater at my former high school and competed in the Miami Dade Urban Debate League, and won first place as a novice speaker. I am a section editor for The Harbinger and managing editor for the Alpha and Omega Yearbook. This year I am the Class Vice President of  2023 and Key Club Vice President. Taking on multiple positions have been a lot of work, but I enjoy creating others happiness. I love music and listen to music everywhere at any time. My music taste is extremely broad, but the genres I love listening to most is Indie/ Alternative, Jazz, and Hip-Hop/Rap.

    When I'm not focused on school or club work, I travel, collecting postcards from each stop, take pictures of scenery, read manga or binge-watch thriller shows. My dream career would involve anything related to sports or graphic design. Those who know me know I have a deep love for sports, especially football, and I love creating and experimenting with different kinds of designs. My friends would describe me as kindhearted, fair, and optimistic. Along with my upbeat personality, I am very family-oriented and absolutely love a good hug. 

    There are many things I learned from last year's many AICE classes. One is to keep calm, organize your thoughts, and then just write. This method kept my brain level-headed and cleared the path for me to recall and apply all the knowledge I received last year. Another is it's okay to ask for help and to go the extra mile. I was always selling myself short, not putting much belief into my ability nor liked asking for help. I've grown as a person, a student, and leader. Never sell yourself short!
