Hello, my name is John Farria. I am a student at New Orleans Charter Science and Math School in New Orleans, Louisiana. I am very enthusiastic about learning and very outgoing. Although I stand behind my 4.0 GPA, I am way more than a test score. I try to engage myself into extracurricular activites such as yearbook. My learning doesn't end at the lunch bell; rather, it's just beginning. I define myself as human, curious to learn as much as I can about life. I am a task-oriented person; organization is a key aspect of my life. In my spare time, I like to volunteer and hang with friends.
