I am Chinyere Omeife. I’m a junior at Blue Springs High School. Some hobbies I have are sewing, reading,
playing the violin, and swimming. My first Iam4thirteens event was the etiquette gala because I thought
it was going to be a place where girls learned how to be a “proper lady”, but it was much more than
that. It was an inspiring night where we practiced interviewing skills and heard from a psychologist
about self-esteem, I walked out that night a better individual. I have also greatly improved my public
speaking through the Iam4thirteens podcast program last and this semester.

 

In the future, I want to be a pediatrician, but to currently help in my community I volunteer at
Ascend Hospice and volunteer at a local mobile food pantry. My goal in life is to help people in lower
socioeconomic classes to get the healthcare they need and to receive health education.
I currently work at HyVee and as a soccer coach. I am part of a community service club at my
school called “Get Involved”, which provides volunteer opportunities for students. Some other clubs I
am apart of are scholar bowl, model UN, math club, HOSA, and DECA. These are steps toward higher
education and hopefully help me fulfill my dream of opening my own practice.
