James Na

Online banking, P2P and B2B finance, and ecommerce on the consumer scale
My name is James Na, and I am currently a Sophomore at Chattahoochee high school. I've always had a strong passion for financing and business management, and with current global economies on the rise, I believe it is important for everyday people to have their own control of their money. This is where p2p comes in. P2P is a form of consumer management and investments, which doesn't require the hassle from banks or Investment firms. If we all had our own P2P portfolio on a global scale with our own control, personal finance will be redefined.

Kelsey Kim, Bailey Kim

Founders of Gauze for a Cause
Our names are Kelsey and Bailey Kim and we are sisters who started the organization Gauze for a Cause. We got the opportunity to meet Dr. Dan last summer and we were so inspired by Dr. Dan's story. Both of us wanted to help, so that's why we formed Gauze for a Cause, a non-profit organization dedicated to provide Dr. Dan and his patients with critically needed medical supplies. Now we're proud to say we've raised enough money for our first container of medical supplies to ship out to Mali. We're also going to Mali this summer to see all the incredible work Dr. Dan has done.

Cinematographer+Film Club President

Maya Machado

CHS Student
All my life I knew I was of Panamanian and Bahamian descent, but more recently this question has manifested itself to me. Coming from an ethnically diverse background, I have struggled with self-identity as well as explaining myself to others. What to most is quite simple, was a challenge to me. Rather than responding to ignorance with loud outbursts and insults, I take this opportunity to educate those around me to be culturally aware. That is why I come to you today to inform what it means to be Black in Latin America.
