My name is Nadia Rahed. I am currently a ninth grader at Vista Murrieta High School . I live in the city of Murrieta , California .

I am involved in the Interact Club at VMHS, which meets the first and third Wednesday of the month. Interact is a fun way to do community service. We do lots of cool things, like making Thanksgiving cards for impoverished families, and serving at a banquet for autistic kids. Right now we are "pen pals" with fourth-graders that go to schools in bad areas where there is lots of gang activity and violence. These are the classes that I am taking this semester: CP Biology, Advanced English I, Geometry, Computers I, Spanish I, and Health.

I plan to work on the yearbook and newspaper committee, and Interact Club next year through senior year. My goal is to get into an Ivy League college and become a doctor or biologist.
