Rosie Fitzsimmons

Rosie is passionate about both local and international service work. She was an officer of a service program called BuildOn in which she contributed over 100 volunteer hours through service projects including her local food bank or environmental restoration of a local park. Through this same program, she was able to live with a host family in Nepal for two weeks to help build the foundation of a new school for the village. She was also head of the Culture and Community department of her Leadership class in high school, which worked to unify and support her student body. Her goals for the year are to immerse herself in a new culture, become fluent in Spanish, and to learn life skills that will better prepare her for college and beyond. I am inspired by young people my age dedicated to making their own individual impact on the world we live in.
