My twin and I graduating from Poland Seminary High School
My name is Arlia M. Duarte, and I was born in Youngstown, Ohio. I have a twin brother, with whom I attended Poland Seminary High School in Poland, Ohio. Here, I was captain of both the varsity softball and volleyball teams, earning my first two varsity letters during my freshman year. This was quite an accomplishment. In 2015, I graduated from high school as the valedictorian of my class, and decided to attend The Ohio State University. Here, I enrolled in the Honors College of Arts and Sciences as a Strategic Communications major. I plan on graduating in three years, and I have hopes of attending law school following commencement. I currently work as a Student Team Member at the Jerome Schottenstein Center, where Ohio State’s basketball teams play. Additionally, I recently accepted a position as a Peer Mentor for the Honors Program.
