Over the past four years at St. Johnsbury Academy, I have received numerous personal and academic growth opportunities. The unending support system has guided me to multiple all-American honors in Track and Field, practicing with teammates who have brought out the best in me. I am always proud to wear my SJA jersey on the national stage, representing a school of diverse individuals who each strive to contribute positively to their community daily. These athletic pursuits, in tandem with accessible extracurricular activities, have allowed me to receive scholarship opportunities from Stanford, Princeton, and Notre Dame. I recently accepted an offer to attend Harvard University next fall. Amidst this stressful process, my coaches, guidance counselors, and teachers have worked tirelessly to ensure I could achieve my athletic dreams while balancing a rigorous academic course load. I cherish my experiences as a member of the SJA community, as they have shaped me into the person I am proud to be today by emphasizing what they believe I can do in the future.
