Hello my name is Maria Carrillo a 2009-2010 Richfield Ambassador. This past year has gone by so fast, its hard to believe its almost over. I have had the privilege of sharing my year with 4 amazing young ladies, Katelin Freeman, Emily Shnacky, Josie Carson and Mindy Bolar who will always act as the sisters I never had. Being apart of this program has taught me more about myself as well as the community that surrounds me. I have lived in Richfield for 6 years and I have learned many things that I didn't know before, due to this program I will always be a part of the 4th of July celebration and for ever be apart of this community.
My favorite event has been the Special Olympics, there is nothing better than putting a smile on someone's face. I would like to thank my remarkable parents Abigail Perez and Rodrigo Carrillo for being supportive. I would also like to thank my 5 brothers; Oscar, Rodrigo Jr., Victor, Jesus and most of all Cruz for being there every step of the way even if it involved hair spray.
When im not volunteering or in a crown, I enjoy rollerblading, playing soccer and reading. Next year I will be a Maverick at Minnesota State University, Mankato. I will be majoring in Social Studies Education due to my love for children, teaching, and the joy of being a leader.
