The best way to describe Alisha Antoine is that she's a ray of sunshine everywhere she goes. She exudes positivity and always has a smile on her face even when she herself may be going through difficulties. Alisha is humble and a natural leader. She is resilient, strong in her faith, and loves to advocate for those who need help in any way. She believes that “respect should be given to everyone because it is something that is deserved, not earned.”
Outside of school, she volunteered with the City of Orlando to help clean up our city parks. She has also helped tutor special needs children at her church and spent time with the elderly at a rehab facility for seniors. One of her favorite community service experiences was assisting her church with making hygiene bags for the homeless. She loved the idea so much, she continued to make hygiene bags with her friends and gave them to the homeless on her own.
Alisha encompasses the essence of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. daily by sharing kindness with all who are in need. Like Dr. King, Alisha strives to help spread equality to everyone she encounters and models how choosing to serve others can make the world a better place.
