Academics
I am a High School Senior with a higher than 4.0 GPA. Since middle school, I have excelled in academics and have taken all Honors and AP courses. I am an Honor roll Student who always tries her best, and isn't satisfied with anything but an A or high B. I am currently number seven in my class of 279, and hope to work my way into the top five. My Junior year I took the AP Chemistry test, and passed, and I plan on taking the AP Modern European History, English 4, Calculus, Psychology, and Physics tests this year.
Athletics
All throughout my life I have been playing sports, all the while keeping my grades high. I played soccer for nine years, and now play on the Boy's Golf and Girl's Tennis Team. I am number two on both teams, as well as the "MVP" and "Most Improved". While on the Boy's Golf team, I have had many successes. My freshmen year I was the runner-up in the Girl's Gloucester County Championships. My sophomore year I was the Girl's Gloucester County Champion. I continued to make progress and qualified for the Girl's New Jersey State Championships my Junior year. This year in golf, I plan on progressing even further and perhaps becoming number one on the boy's team. Tennis is also my passion as I've worked my way up to number two. Time management and competitive situations are what I thrive in.
Work
I started working in the summer of 2011. Right when I turned 16, I set out for a job. I got a job as a Sales Associate and Cashier at Old Navy. I've been working at Old Navy for a year and a half and love it. I love interacting with people and learning how to juggle working, AP classes, homework, sports, community service, and extracurricular activities. A great work ethic is important for excelling in college for the next four to seven years.
