http://www.krossover.com/intelligence/shared/555a30178e18d
Three aspects of life define my entire being. My academics is where I believe I truly standout from the competition. With a cumulative 3.99 GPA, and persistently challenging myself with rigorous classes, I personally believe I have what it takes to endure the arduous academia of college. Lacrosse has been an outlet through which I can efficaciously separate myself from peers, and stand out from other players as well. My unselfish play, but also the ability to finish and put the ball in the back of the net make me am significant offensive asset. I greatly desire to improve my athleticism and stick handling skills during the season, and in the off season. The third aspect which defines me is my family. I have an irregular upbringing, growing up mainly with my father due to the passing of my mother. However, my extended family, including my aunts, uncles, and grandparents have stepped in to raise me to a high standard. For these three aspects of my life, I attribute my success, as well as my fundamental personality, behavior, and persistence to be the best in what I do.

Academic Accomplishments
Are you in honor classes?
Yes. Spanish HonorsAre you in AP/IB classes?
Yes. AP Government AP Physics While my list of AP classes are not as extensive as other applicants, I recognized that a well rounded student provides more to a University more than a student only focused on academics. Because I have done a biochemistry/oncology project since freshman year, one that consumes endless hours of work, I have diminished the number of AP classes I take in order to do more than just follow the norm. This project is also being published. Also, because I go to a college prep school, rather than taking regular courses, I take college prep courses, which include taking classes with students a grade ahead of me. Therefore, as a junior, I currently take college prep courses that is nearly filled with all seniors.Registered with the NCAA Eligibility Center?
