A Bit About Me

I'm a procrastinator who likes to plan ahead. Don't worry if that makes a bit of sense, I'm also an evening person who would like to wake up at 5 am. I'm a hard worker and I tend to stress over small details until a task is completed, but I like to think my time management skills are pretty good. These traits are constant between my educational and social lives. I am my own biggest enemy when it comes to school; I stress myself out over minute details, but hopefully that stress is keeping me from being a complete slacker. I just feel better when I know I'm doing my best. Outside of school, I'm usually with my Jewish youth group. On top of being a group of my closest friends, I have taken many active leadership roles within the group. In addition to being my chapter's President, I have planned major conventions and served on numerous committees.
My favorite classes have always been social studies. It almost scares me to say it, but I think I want to be some sort of History teacher later in life. However, I hate names and dates; the fascinating social studies classes are the ones pertaining to social interactions and the spread of ideals, like philosophy or sociology. How can math compete with ideals of society? (I'm not a fan of math)
My biggest influence in my life has been my family and my youth group. Both have served to provide me with a strong Jewish identity while teaching me how to be a productive member of society. At the moment, my life goals are pretty academically focused. My ambitions are directed towards going on a gap year program to Israel for the year while still receiving some college credit. Should be fun to sort out with an admissions office.
