After transferring from the Seattle area mid-junior year, I completed the term with a 3.1GPA. As a senior I am preparing to attend the California Art Institute in San Diego and obtain my degree in Culinary Arts. As a Boy Scout I achieved the rank of Tenderfoot at 12 years old. I have been an active participant in the JROTC program for the past year. I have also participated in several types of team and individual sports activities for most of my life. Each of these experiences helped to shape me as a person and taught me self-discipline, how to work as part of a team, how to lead a team to complete common goals, and the value of giving my all.
