“I stayed focused in school

Jul 06 2012Computer Engineering
I stayed focused in school. Took many AP and IB course through out and stayed active at my school (joining a club, or in my case Marching Band). Try to do well on your SATs and/or ACTs. My dedication and grades brought me many scholarships, plus all the IB and AP courses I took has given me enough credits to almost be a whole year ahead. I suggest to give it your all to pursue something that you are going to love to do!
