Accomplishments

This past summer, I embarked on a month-long solo exchange program to Argentina, challenging myself with over six hours of graded language and culture classes daily. I excelled in these courses, achieving a 4.0 average. This experience not only taught me independence, social skills, and adaptability but also helped me earn the International Seal of Biliteracy through high scores on the STAMP language test.

In high school, I have completed all my English classes with honors and successfully took four AP classes and two additional Honors classes this year, furthering my academic progress. I was elected Senior Class President for the upcoming school year and hold leadership roles in three clubs, one of which I founded. Beyond school, I work multiple volunteer jobs, serving my local community.
