Summary
Highly talented student capable of not just meeting standards and deadlines, but doing what it takes to stand out and strive for perfection. I always live by the statement of "If I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it to it's fullest." Standing out and branching into dozens of different extracurriculars is one thing, but I always ensure that whatever I do, I wont simply just do the bare minimum, instead I'll do the most I possibly can, and then some.
