Emily's DLS Senior Fund

Hello!

My name is Emily Andrade, I will be in my fourth year of high school this fall. I currently stand at a 4.1 GPA and have maintained it since freshman year. I've been varsity of my Track & Field team since freshman year and became co-captain in my Junior year. I am a top 5 student-athlete at De La Salle Institute, my forte is the 200 meters, the 4x200 as well as 4x400 meter relay. I've won first place dozens of times over the last 8 years of running Track & Field. I've been running since I was 10 years old. As this is something I am very passionate about I would like to use my athleticism to pursue my ultimate dream of becoming a board-certified anesthesiologist.

Despite financial aid, scholarships and loans, my family did not have enough funds to complete my senior year. The only person who has helped pay for school is my mother who is a single parent. As soon as summer break began I asked my mom if I could work alongside her and I've been working with her since. However, that does not cover the cost to continue my journey at De La Salle Institute.

I am hopeful that with your help we will be able to relieve my mom and me of some of the burdens we face. As it is difficult to ask for help I am extremely grateful for this opportunity and hope to give back to my mom and my family.

Thank you so much.
