- Having moved from Trinidad and Tobago to the United States of America in Dec 2023, I was required to adapt to a completely new style of education. I have had to keep a very open mind in order to meet the different requirements for graduation from high school in the US. It is challenging as some subject areas are relatively new but I appreciate the importance of keeping up my GPA and so I am working at this.
- As a member of the South Texas PGA, I compete regularly in golf tournaments. This helps me to develop critical thinking, resilience, discipline, a sense of accomplishment and comradery. I have been playing golf since the age of three, and have had membership in golf clubs in Trinidad and Tobago, namely the St. Andrews Golf Club and Millennium Lakes Golf Club.
- Voluntary service is another new but interesting aspect of the graduation requirements here in the US. As such, I have volunteered for community service projects, at a variety of locations, namely the Houston Food Bank, Project Cure (donate medical supplies and equipment) and at with the set up for several events at St. John Vianney Catholic Church and at a home for the aged.
- Time management to ensure coursework and assignment completion, examination preparation at school in conjunction with spiritual development, volunteer service and my athletic aspirations in competitive golf contribute to holistic education.
- Planned weekly gym workouts help condition me for golf and toward a healthy body and mind.
- I have tapped into academic resources such as tutoring to improve performance.
- I regularly engage in classroom discussions to facilitate learning of concepts.
- Conducted research using online databases for various school assignments.
- Prepared and delivered presentations on subject-specific projects for e.g. in Biology and Entrepreneurship
- Attended several camps to enhance improvement of my golf techniques. Some of these include Nike Golf Camp in Summer 2024,
- Learning about various software tools and platforms for online learning and assignments for e.g. in Graphic Design
- Engaged in continuous learning through summer courses and enrichment programs.
- Adapted to diverse learning environments, including remote and in-person settings.
- I played a musical instrument namely the cello Steelpan for about five years from 2019 to 2023 at Fatima College.
