Accomplishments
-I participated in a cultural exchange to Argentina last summer. My family hosted a student for three months and I lived in Buenos Aires for two months. I learned to adjust to unfamiliar situations quickly while challenged by a different language and lifestyle. This taught me confidence and patience when talking to others and improved my Spanish language skills. Through my experiences abroad, I became more confident, independent and broadened my perspective of the world.
-Played Varsity Volleyball for four years. This taught me how to push myself, work well with others, and concentrate even in stressful situations.
-Graduated with 4.0 GPA while participating in Honors Spanish, English Literature and History
