I am a very accomplished student of the IB program at John F. Kennedy High school. I have faced many challenges since starting my high school career, most of which, are due to poor health. Even after being declared in remission from my blood disorder, it caused several other problems to appear over the last few years. For example going into my sophomore year, I had acute kidney failure and underwent dialysis multiple times. Then going into Junior year, I developed a blood clot in my lower left lung. And even though these challenges were put before me, I decided to choose the most difficult and academically challenging courses that my school had to offer. I make sure to do my best to improve upon my failures and have never been one to give up when things get hard. I am a persistent and very self-motivated student.
