Growing up traveling on a sailboat has fostered a passion for discovery. Whether it be for my academics or new places, the love for new experiences and knowledge is the part of my childhood I'd most like to keep. -- As a high school student, I have maintained A- to A+ grades in all classes, including eight AP-level courses and multiple dual enrollment classes. I am graduating 2 years early. While it is currently my senior year, it would have otherwise been my sophomore year. At the same time, I have focused on learning conversational French and assisting in English learning for French speakers. I have also founded and managed a philosophy book club with over 20 members. -- College Plans: I intend to pursue a bachelor's degree first and eventually a graduate degree in a STEM field, likely theoretical physics.
