Hey there! (:
My name is Angelina Tran, but most call me Angel. I am The Advocate’s Editor-in-Chief.
Future Goals and Aspects
A major goal for my life is to finish school with bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate degrees at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I am a part of the Upward Bound program, a college preparatory program based at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I plan on majoring in Secondary Education with an Endorsement in History and Business. My master’s degree will be in Educational Administration and my doctorate degree will be in Educational Studies.
Personal Life
I am a varsity sprinter for the LHS Track and Field team, as well as a varsity letterman. I am a three-time state qualifier in the 100M, 200M, and 4x100M Relay. I am also a sponsored indoor track sprinter as well as a competitive powerlifter. My main goal is to return to the Nebraska State Track and Field Championship next May 2019.
Another activity I am involved in is DECA, which stands for Distributive Education Clubs of America. As a part of DECA, I help with community service projects and events, fundraising, and I compete at the district, state, and national level. Currently, I am Co-Presidents with my other half, Jayla Toliver.
As the student representative for LHS, I am a co-chair on the district High-School Task Force, a committee that is planning the next two high schools being built in the city of Lincoln. I am also the committee co-chair of Student Diversity and Community.
