Summary

After graduating from high school in 2022, I was unable to go to college due to my study permit not being issued in time the decision to stay in my home country, Senegal, and enroll in a Senegalese school to pursue the baccalaureate. I successfully obtained it and placed 3rd in my exam center, showcasing my dedication and commitment to academic excellence. During my time in Senegal, I actively engaged in various extracurricular activities. I founded a dynamic chess club, promoting intellectual growth and sportsmanship among peers, and organized charitable initiatives, including distributing food during the Muslim fasting month and winning the top prize in a science fair, where I demonstrated innovation and problem-solving skills. As the captain of the basketball team, I led by example, fostering teamwork and mentoring younger players, while in the student government, I supported special projects and contributed to process improvements. Throughout these experiences, I showcased strong leadership, teamwork, and a commitment to making a positive impact within my community.
