Personal Statement
I have been a traditionally hard worker all of my life. I love being part of a team because it is like I have an extended family. I am willing to be coachable to any degree and I am not afraid of getting down and dirty.
I plan on studying molecular biology in college. I want to focus on genetic disease, like down syndrome, because my uncle was a down syndrome child who passed away when he was eight years old.
I am the valedictorian of my class and have been the top of the class since sixth grade. I have a very strong work ethic and I make sure to keep my grades up, even when I am heavily involved in school activities. I participate in soccer, softball, musical, Envirothon, and various other school functions.
