About
Over my years through middle school and high school, I have always liked to challenge myself with harder courses to push myself and see my potential. I also found that through these more rigorous courses that the skills I have learned such as time management, advanced insight, and more in depth think to be very helpful when I got to college. Now when most other students are now just learning these skills, I am already going into college being able to apply these skills in my new classes.
