Leslie is a 17-year-old senior at Pennsylvania Leadership Charter School in West Chester, Pennsylvania. During a trip to Cambodia in 2009 with her grandparents, she had an “eye-opening experience” when she witnessed flashes of poverty more extreme than she had ever imagined. “When I thought of all the blessings that I have, I cried,” says Leslie. “My trip to Cambodia reinforced my desire to bless others more than ever.”
Biology, which helps her “appreciate the complexities of life,” is Leslie’s favorite subject in school. She plans to study art in college. She also is a talented swimmer, painter and photographer. Leslie lives in Downingtown, Pennsylvania, with her parents and her two brothers.
