I currently have a 5.04 cumulative GPA at Wilbur Cross High School. I also recently received an award from the United States Library of Congress for writing and the Principal's Award for Outstanding Achievement, which is given to one student each year. I spent the 2016-2017 academic year in Paris where I studied history and political science in addition to the French language, ultimately receiving the 2nd highest score in France on the DELF French language proficiency exam.  I am both passionate about and committed to my studies.
