“Resilient. Passionate about helping those in need. A strong work ethic. A willingness to learn. Courage in facing significant challenges.” Teachers noted that Elaina’s experiences were dramatically different from those of her peers. After struggling the first two years of high school with difficult personal challenges, Elaina did a dramatic turnaround and found the self-discipline and sense of purpose necessary to be successful in her studies. Showing compassion for those who struggle, Elaina plans to become an EMT and will study at Everett Community College. Her goal as an EMT is to help curtail the tragic fentanyl epidemic and to help the homeless, and eventually she hopes to continue her studies to become a doctor.
