Taking AP Research allowed me to experience what it is like working on a long term research paper is like. Reading existing bodies of literature, creating my own research question, and executing my own research project to write a 5000 word research paper gave me a new perspective on writing beyond very traditional essay or novel writing.

A particular teacher in high school has impacted my life beyond words and has helped me grow into a better person. I have learned a lot over the past year about how much education and teachers have meant in my life, and I want to continue the legacy of all the great teachers I have had in my life.

I have thought about a career in data science and more specifically sports analytics, however I think a pivot into education is a better option.

As education means a lot to me, I think another option to get into education for me is education research. I would love to do some research on what makes classroom community flourish, what conditions stimulate learning, and grading practices.

I have leadership skills from being the captain of many sports teams and being a leader inside the classroom. I can be a leader in multiple ways by working with others in many different roles. I am able to lead by example, give directions, or follow another persons lead.

I am very authentic in the way I communicate with others, and I am able to offer honest and constructive feedback. For example, I was on a committee to help decide who our senior speaker was going to be at graduation in high school.

I love working with my community and giving back, and I have lots of experience doing community service work. I would love to explore how language, reading, and writing can be seen in spaces such as these.

I am very empathetic and try to think in the experiences of others. While I don't pretend to understand what people are going through or experiencing, I never take for granted that peoples circumstances can influence them.

I am very curious and driven, and I will think from many different angles and in many different ways to make new solutions and come up with new ideas.

I manage to walk a fine line between open minded and stubborn. In some ways, many people around me would tell you that I am very stubborn, very driven, but also open minded. I think through many different ways of doing things, and will examine multiple perspectives, but I will never give up on something that I am passionate about.
