Describe yourself in three words: Curious, Funny, Driven
School activities: Cross country, track, Academic Challenge, Ohio Model United Nations, National Honors Society
Community Activities: National Honors Society, women's health drive, race volunteering
Honors and Awards: ACT score of 35, 2 Academic Letters, 4 Cross Country Letters, 3 Track Letters, 3 Debate Letters, Public Forum Debate State Qualifier
Nominated By: Jennifer Austin, international baccalaureate diploma programme English language and literature teacher and Emily Palmer, international baccalaureate diploma programme director coordinator and theory of knowledge teacher.
What is your favorite thing to do outside school: To play games with my friends. A few years ago, a friend of mine introduced me to Dungeons and Dragons, and I've been hooked ever since.
Favorite High School Memory: My first cross country practice in the rain. Heavy rain during cross country always seems to make practice more fun and less painful, and a mixture of bad singing, running through miniature lakes and rivers of water, and yelling in joy made that day extremely enjoyable.
Most people would be surprised to know. . .: I have a girlfriend.
What do you hope to do as a career: I hope to become a biomedical engineer with a specialization in nanotechnology. I plan on utilizing nanotechnology to prevent and alleviate prevalent illnesses and issues.
What is the biggest issue facing teens today?: The wasting of potential. Teenagers often feel discredited and ignored, yet remain ignorant to important information, disrespectful, and undedicated to bettering themselves as people. The reason I believe this is such a large issue is because many teens have the ability to achieve greatness, but settle for complacency. There is an opportunity inherent within this generation to create positive change in the world, and we have a responsibility to fulfill that potential.
