advocacy my sophomore year, and I was secretary of our chapter,” Pascarella says.
FOCUS ON SERVICE
After attending a leadership camp in seventh grade, Pascarella was challenged to create a service project in her community. She started a Junior Librarians Club, recruiting middle schoolers to volunteer their time at the Harper Library, where they hosted a summer reading club for children. She also hosted a reception to honor library donors
and volunteers at fundraisers held by the Harper Volunteer Fire Department. Pascarella plans to attend college after high school and major in business. “I will definitely continue supporting agriculture in my lifestyle by doing things like buying local,” she says. “I love living in Texas because you always see farms, wineries and produce stands right around the corner. It’s refreshing to be surrounded by agriculture.” – Jessica Mozo
