About

I am a graduating senior from East Side High School who has plans to go to Rutgers University's Newark campus in the fall. In my high school career, I had always strived hard to be successful, and as I transition into entering higher education, I plan to proceed with that goal and carry it with me beyond college. I have been on the Honor Roll for nearly every single quarter in the last four years, and in my senior year I had Super Honor Roll the entire time. My GPA has never fallen below 3.5, and I have passed three AP classes (U.S. History, Psychology, and Literature.) I chose to go to RU-N because of the good possibility that I will succeed in their amazing business school due to my management of a high GPA and my motivation to achieve. Over the summer, I plan to work, and may even work on-campus while at Rutgers.

Outside the classroom

A hobby that I have enjoyed ever since I was little was writing. In fact, for a long time I used to want to be an author. Though I may not want to commit to that full time, it would be nice to have as a little side job. When it comes to writing, I prefer to write fictional short stories that have some sort of message or hidden meaning within them. I also like to draw occasionally, using pencils, markers, and watercolor pencils.
