My name is Estelle McLeary but I go by Faith. Since being adopted from Liberia, I have had the beautiful opportunity to grow up in the city of Orange, where I attended Villa Park High School. While I was an accomplished student athlete my biggest accomplishment was my charity work that I partook in. Throughout my middle school and High School years I was part of National Charity League, a charity organization that empowers mother daughter teams to do philanthropic work to give back to the community. During this time I got to work with many different people from different walks of life. This not only gave me perspective of the world but taught me how to live for things bigger than myself. As a Christian I find that the most important thing are love, compassion and selflessness. Today I am thankful for all of my experiences that have made me who I am I have also learned through my own personal medical scares, like my heart surgery at 16, that there is always a blessing in every struggle
