This year, I have continued to achieve academic excellence inside the classroom while continuing to be a leader in the St. Paul’s community. For the first semester, I have earned four A’s and three B’s in the full International Baccalaureate Program (my school will be sending my updated transcript). This winter, I earned the role of the captain of my varsity basketball team. I am a leader on the court and try to set an example for my teammates of how important it is to work hard in all aspects of life.

The club’s semi-annual bagel sale to benefit charitable organizations, and the opportunity for Jewish students to unite at an Episcopalian school, will surely continue after I graduate. I am proud to have founded the Club. This is an example of how my passion has led me to take initiative and leadership roles to make my school a better place for all. I feel prepared to pursue similar roles in Clubs and Student led organizations at the University of Maryland.
