“Hi my name is Isabel. Someone who has been a big influence in my life has been my dad because he shows me how to be hard working, honorable, and outgoing. He has really shown me how to be a good person. During my free time I like to draw a lot, coloring them, and going on runs. I also like to read and write. Another thing I’ve been trying to do is learn the basics of ASL (American Sign Language). My experience of SRLA up to this point was really good. I didn’t think I’d ever do it but I really enjoyed the time I did. I really liked running to places and meeting new people. Two achievements I’m proud of is winning Animo Voices because I didn’t think I could do it. I was very surprised when I read the letter saying I won, though I missed reading it. Another thing was running and finishing the marathon because it’s not easy. A lot of people have done it but I think it has a big significance to me knowing that I can run 26.2 miles.”
