Personal Statement
Hello, my name is Annie Carlton. I am currently 16 and a junior in high school. In school I am currently in National Spanish Honor Society and next year I hope to take AP Spanish, and earn the Seal of Bi-literacy. Looking past high school, I plan to major in biology or anatomy to get to my goal of becoming a Dental Hygienist. I would love to minor in Spanish as well so I am able to speak to a larger portion of our community and maybe travel to a Spanish speaking country where I can help in dental clinics or communities with little resources. My family and I have been fostering dogs from our local humane society for about 3 years and every time we get a new foster I fall deeper in love with them. We have had a large variety of dogs but so far Pitbulls have been the most gentle and sweetest dogs despite common stereotype. Fostering these 'vicious' dogs has taught me to not judge before I know more or experience something for myself. It is very rewarding to me knowing that we are helping stray and injured dogs get off the streets so they can soon be put up for adoption for a loving family in our community.
