About
I enjoy participating in rigorous courses such as advanced placement and honors classes. Additionally, I enjoy taking dual credit college classes as I feel like they are challenging me and preparing me for when I enroll into the university of my choice. Although my GPA isn't ideal for many people, I believe that my academics do not define me nor define what I enjoy.
