Let the beauty of what you LOVE be what you DO.

My name is Erna Alic and I am a senior at Sport Medical Sciences Academy. I love to learn, do community service, read and write, and spend my free time outdoors. I currently live in Hartford, CT and have lived here for sixteen years. I was born in Switzerland and my parents came to America as Bosnian refugees with me when I was a one year old. My parents have struggled and worked very hard to be able to offer my siblings and me a shelter, food and education. They wanted us to have better opportunities than they did. Even though they had good intentions, me and my siblings never grew up with the parental affection that we needed. My mom worked two jobs at once and I have never had a strong mother daughter relationship. My father is a very strict man and hasn’t ever asked or wondered what I want in life. He has a set plan for me and has a hard time accepting the type of person I’ve grown up to be, which is a caring and strong-willed person. I haven’t been offered enough affection but now I have so much to give and I plan to give some of it for my Capstone. My love will be given to the children I am working with at The Village Community School who need my help academically and who will benefit from the fun activities I have for them.
