Sania Memon
Hello! My name is Sania Memon, I’m attending St. Petersburg Collegiate High School. After high school I hope to finish my bachelors and go to med school to become an Obstetrician. I think it’s beautiful how obstetricians can bring a new life into this world with their hands. I love kids so much that I babysit children at my local Mosque during the month of Ramadan. This will be my 4th Ramadan volunteering there, and I have earned almost 200 hours so far. Along with volunteering I also work at Hollister as a Brand Representative. I make sure customers find what they need and I take my time understanding what they are looking for. I love coming to work with a smile, as it’s my 2nd favorite place to be. My 1st favorite place to be as at the gym. I love working out. It keeps me sane while being a college student at 18. Juggling all of these things can be hard, but I make sure I have time to do the things I love while focusing on school. I’m currently Majoring in Pre-med, and did a Medicine and healthcare program at Northwestern over the summer. When I can back from Northwestern, I learned so much that I wanted to share my knowledge with others, so I came up with a Healthcare Professionals Club or FHP club, at SPC. In this club we do fun activities such as cell cupcakes, and have guest speaker who share their journey throughout med school and residency to our high school kids. I’m very passionate about school and always trying to find ways to better other people’s lives. A way of doing that is by being this years President of our schools Interact Club, while last year I was Interact clubs Historian. School is very important to me so I try to be well rounded and take positions in numerous clubs. The positions I hold now, along with Interact club and FHP club, is Student governments Secretary. Being able to hold this position, makes sure that I am always making decisions and am always there to support my class in anyway possible. Additionally, I’m a camera fanatic. I love taking pictures with my digital camera as well as my professional camera. You will never see me without my digital camera in my purse. I love capturing beautiful moments that I wish to hold on to forever. I’m also thrilled and thankful to be apart of S4TL this past summer and cannot wait to share my experiences and photos with you all! Thank you so much!
Holly Hagan
Hi! My name is Holly Hagen. I am currently attending St. Petersburg Collegiate High School at the Gibbs campus. After high school, I plan to graduate with my associate's degree and then continue to pursue either a bachelor's or master's degree. I have a couple of career paths I’d love to explore, particularly in the engineering field, as I have a passion for creativity and hands-on work. I've always been a crafty person, and every summer since I was seven years old, I’ve helped my dad remodel houses. This includes tasks like painting walls, repairing kitchen cabinets, and much more.
In addition to this, I dedicate a couple of days each week to helping my grandparents. My car was passed down to me by my grandpa, which has made it even more important to me to prioritize taking care of them, just as they’ve taken care of me.
As for work, I am currently employed at Tsaocaa Tea, where I serve customers and gain valuable experience. Working here has significantly impacted how I view life—it has made me a more hardworking, open, and patient person. What I love most about my job is walking in with a smile, knowing I’ll enjoy my day surrounded by my coworkers and interacting with people all day long. I thrive on meeting new people and putting myself out there, which makes this job particularly fulfilling.
Some of my hobbies include photography, going to the gym, and reading. I’ve invested in multiple cameras and enjoy sharing my photography as a form of art on social media. I take my camera everywhere, even for something as simple as capturing a beautiful sunset. Going to the gym is another way I stay productive and maintain a healthy lifestyle. When I have free time, I enjoy reading, especially fictional and personal journey books. I find learning about the human mind and people’s unique experiences incredibly fascinating. I would describe myself as leading an active and fulfilling lifestyle, which motivates me to be the best version of myself.
I was honored to attend S4TL, which gave me invaluable experiences and lasting friendships. After the seminar, I applied what I learned about leadership to my everyday life and school activities. I am now the President and co-founder of the Future Healthcare Professionals Club and the Vice President of Interact at my high school. I look forward to continuing to use these skills in college and throughout the rest of my life. Thank you!
