Summer Moreno, 16, is a rising junior at Shelton High School in Dallas. Shelton specializes in learning disabilities for her dyslexia.

She chose to apply for this summer program because she enjoys writing and wants to further explore journalism. She said she loves to write about fashion and would love to someday become a magazine editor or photographer for runway models.

Summer said playing the violin, hanging out with friends and dancing are among her favorite pastimes. She is the most passionate about dancing and is the captain of her school’s dance team, the Chargerettes. She said she loves home cooked meals, listening to music and the color purple.

In the future, she hopes to attend Southern Methodist University or Texas Christian University and study to become a journalist.
