Biography

I spent the first eight years of my schooling in the public school educational system. I was a straight A student from the time of kindergarten, making High Honor Roll all four quarters of every school year. I was the class Valedictorian both my elementary and middle schools – the first Valedictorian of my middle school because it had just been built and opened for the first year.

While in school one of my favorite classes was Spanish, though unfortunately, most of what I learned what just vocabulary. Because of this it’s one of my own goals to learn Spanish, not only to keep up with the economy, but to also keep up with my favorite Hispanic friends and get involved in the conversations I’m forced not to have.

When I graduated from middle school, I traversed the invisible line from the public, to the private school system to The Hudson School. It was such a big change, that I wasn’t sure that I’d be able to get used to it. I had to wake up at 5:30 every morning in order to catch the train to school, and I wouldn’t get back home until roughly 5:00 p.m. the earliest. At my high school, it was the first time that I ever got a C on my report card, and I cried when I saw it. It was a preparatory college high school, and the school lived up to its title. I learned how to work through over three hours of straight homework, and run on five hours of sleep. I learned how to manage my time and how to organize myself. I reached as high as a 3.84 GPA during my junior year, and was at the top of my French class, which I had begun taking my freshman year and continued on to my senior year.
