I believe that God became human in the person of Jesus to set an example for what a person should do to be righteous and to show that a man in the flesh could indeed follow God’s rules. I became a Monarch because I knew there was no other high school that I could find myself in—it was my dream school since middle school, and I wanted to go to the same high school as my older sister. Also, my best friend and several good friends from my elementary school were going to go to Mitty, and I felt that I belonged here because I had felt welcomed by a warm and inclusive community early on. An early experience I had at Mitty that informs who I am now was getting to know some of my close Mitty friends from our first couple PE periods; I enjoyed how we all came together when nobody was daring enough to jump first into the freezing cold swimming pool for our swim unit or the energizing basketball games we played together. Those early experiences caused me to open up and become a friendlier and more talkative person. I felt accepted when I was greeted by the team of students holding posters that welcomed everybody on the first day of school, challenged when I had to face studying for finals, and honored when my name was called out by Ms. Hilton during the school-wide assembly. One thing I learned about myself this year was that nothing comes easy, but if I put the hard work into something, only good outcomes will emerge.

A symbol that represents who I want to become for the Mitty community is a man who runs with purpose and direction towards the goal he has set for himself. The symbol is of a person running towards the place the arrow is pointing, and the wind streaks and speedometer represent the pace of which he is moving. This symbol represents diligence, something that I find very hard to achieve, such as not being able to sit down and drill homework exercises without taking a break or sidetracking or studying nonstop. As a freshman, I lived out justice because I regularly commit my personal time and talents to organizations that support people in need by volunteering to help the disabled community every Monday from 5-7 pm. I taught the cello to my buddy and enjoyed seeing him learn and improve. This past year, I was also respectful, as I matured as a person and grew my self-confidence over the course of freshman year. One outcome that I want to live out more fully is to be a leader who effectively functions as a team member in solving problems and supporting community projects. I hope to be more of a leader in the greater community by taking initiative and leading others by example by being loud and able to be looked up to.

Record a video response OR write a 6-8 sentence paragraph answering the following:

What was a low point in your year? Where did you struggle to be hopeful, and why? This can be about any aspect of your life — personal, academic, social, extracurricular, family.

A low point in my year was when I realized I had missed the deadline to request to be in APUSH. I had met all the prerequisites, which was not talked about since it was known, but the fact that I had missed the deadline to take APUSH was disheartening. I talked to my counselor and told my parents, and after a long battle of emailing the department chair of social studies and contacting the chair of counseling and explaining my situation, APUSH was finally approved for my social studies course in my sophomore school year. I felt a bit helpless as they told me that it would not be a guarantee, but eventually they understood us and the chair approved my course request. The whole event was very stressful not only for me but for my parents as well. I am glad that the chair of social studies understood my circumstances and approved me for APUSH rather than disregarding the whole of it.

Looking forward to the summer, how will you reenergize yourself? What are you looking forward to doing or not doing that will bring you new life?

Happy: A Poem by Ryan Kim

Ah, summer at last
A time where I can truly relax
With no homework, tests, and school-related stress
Where there are lazy Saturdays, summer backyard barbecues
Hot days and cool nights
A time of summer camps and relaxation
A time of meeting up with friends and family
A time when I have the luxury to sleep more than 7 hours per day
A time of public forum speech camps, tennis clinics, and hangouts with close friends
A time where I form a small band with a couple of my Mitty and outside of school orchestra friends, creating a pleasant little trio whilst playing music
But also a time of pressure to do well in my activities such as piano, cello, and tennis
Of course working hard as well
Not to mention the great food I will get to eat
Having good times with friends
Mastering piano pieces
Making memories with my family
Adding on to the experiences, one of which is that the only places I will travel to are the kitchen and my friend’s house, figuratively
Which makes me think-
Is it really worth it to stress yourself out during the school year to destress over the duration of one summer?
Yes.
Because at least during those times
I don’t have to worry about many things and
I can be, well,
Happy.
