 Becoming a surgeon has been a passion of mine since the start of high school. As I have

continued taking classes throughout high school, I have found that the higher level,

Advanced Placement classes have intrigued me the most. I find myself yearning for the

challenges and critical thinking courses such that calculus offers. Mr. Barry Smith, AP

Calculus AB/BC teacher, has encouraged me for the last two years to push myself out of

my comfort zone by practicing working hard, visualizing failure and taking strides to

learn from it, and developing a strong purpose. Mrs. Shelton-Eide and Mrs. Tolson, Fine

Arts teachers, have inspired me to always take chances and understand that humanity

has a common ground. Be a motivator and bring all walks of life together - collaborate

and communicate in order to reach a goal as a team.

I am attending the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Virginia this fall.

On average, I  go through approximately ten pairs of shoes in a year. I never realized this till my father questioned, "Son, how do you wear down your shoes so darn fast?" It occurred to me the  reason I worked

through shoes so fast is because of my commitment to being  a  leader. Since  the beginning of my  Freshman year,

I  have split my time  between Theater, Robotics.  Student Government, and Advanced  Placement Classes.

Needless to say, this constant movement has put  a strain on mv footwear. I believe that  the greatest goal I could

have after high school is to continue to deteriorate my shoes and to  demonstrate leadership in my community,

I hope to continue achieving leadership in my occupation field.  I will be studying Mechanical Engineering at Liberty University.
