About me:
Born in the Philippines, I moved here when I was 3 knowing only Tagalog & learning English by age 5. In the 6th grade, I met the third love of my life through a school secretary's insistence on my elective:my violin. Entering high school, I was accepted into the IB program at Oscar Smith & since then have enjoyed the close friendships, sleepless nights of schoolwork, the challenges my classes, teachers, & fellow classmates give me everyday (& the resulting 4.73 GPA/2% class ranking!). I JUST got accepted into Johns Hopkins & need this money MORE THAN ever! (It costs $50,000+ to go there!)
Activities:
Oscar Smith High Chamber Orchestra (Duet at Carnegie Hall with this group in 10th grade!),
Strolling Strings,
Key Club,
Hospital Volunteer,
Mu Alpha Theta President,
NHS,
Spanish Honor Society Officer, Class President/11(helped organize the 1st off-campus Junior Ring Dance), Church Band/Media Team
How would I move Mount Fuji:
I'm perfectly happy with where it is (much like everyone else...). Though if I really wanted to move it, I'm sure brainwashing the general populace into thinking it's in Antarctica wouldn't be too difficult. An alternative would be to eloquently throw words at it...oh, the power of language!
