"Throughout high school, I have had immense support from my teachers, guidance counselor, friends, and family in order to achieve my goals. They have encouraged me academically as well as emotionally. More than that, there are plenty of opportunities at Lenape to get involved. I was able to co-found my own club as well as take advantage of the vast number of clubs already at Lenape."

For my Scout Gold Award, while pending, I have created an engaging business/financial literacy curriculum for middle schoolers that I presented to children at the YMCA Summer Camp last summer. Through NHS, I have organized a multitude of service opportunities as well as communicated and amplified those already organized. I have put together a Holiday Village cleanup for local elderly residents, and organize a volleyball tournament for charity in the spring.
