This is a photo taken at the 2015 Top 10 Banquet, where I was recognized along with 9 others for achieving the 10 best GPAs in our graduating class. I wore the medal I received at graduation, and was honored to receive such recognition. Throughout high school, I had an extremely competitive class! For this very reason, achieving Top 10 status was always a goal of mine. However, the best part of the experience was sharing it with some of my closest friends. Every single person in this picture had a positive impact on my life, and truly influenced not only my academic accomplishments, but the development of my personal character.
