Silas John '21 Recruiting Profile

I have three passions in life: athletics, academics, and music. I am intensely dedicated to whatever I set my mind upon, from formatting waypoint randomization for autonomous drones, to giving it my all for endless hours in track practice, to composing breath-taking, multi-intrumental musical pieces. I enjoy pushing scholars and athletes around me, encouraging and challenging them to become better, as they do to me. As an insanely dedicated, loyal, and friendly individual, I love to interact with those around me and learn all that I can!! With a college education, I can push invisible boundaries, both physically (track) and mentally (academics). I have tremendous interest in Quantum Computing, taking classes at a nearby college to learn all that I can! I desire to inspire those younger than me as I compete in a higher level track program, bringing respect and achievment to myself, my family, my college, and God. Having interests such as these, I love this exciting, expansive world where the possibilities are endless, and can't wait to explore in college!

I volunteer in my community almost daily, teaching elementary and middle schoolers about programming through Hack4Change. On weekends, I play on various bands and worship teams at various churches. In my free time, I tirelessly help buisness partners in Nigeria (through International Buisness Internship Program) start, manage, and prosper their fledging start-ups with innovative ideas, solutions, and fundraising. 

I'm not allll serious however, I do enjoy a bit of entertainment from time to time. I have practiced card magic for close to 2 years, and always have a 'trick up my sleeve', for those around me!
