I love to learn, to expand my knowledge. I love a challenge, to know something the person next to me does not know. That is why I am currently taking 2 AP courses and all honors classes, second year of language going to a third and am enrolled for another 2 AP courses. I play soccer and baseball for my school. Graduating from a schools with a name would be my dream. I want to go to an Ivy League school, or atleast a school with mathematics and engineering. I think technology is amazing and I want to experience it to its fullest. That is why I am going to college, to accomplish my dream.

Extracurricular

Great experience, I love soccer, the only problem with continuing it was that I put school first and I decided to quit the team by sophomore year so I can keep up with school work.

An after school program that helps you with school, gives you a course to take, and play games and sports at the same time. But I cant continue in college because its for middle school and high school only.

BaseBall

Baseball is my favorite sport, I may not be the best person at it but I don't care, I play it so I can have fun.
