My greatest academic achievement is a project I completed at the end of my senior year in high school. This project took place over the course of the entire year and was incredibly rewarding once it was completed in May. For this project I researched the effects that a child suffers from as a result of learning in English, while English is not their primary language. After my research I began tutoring Spanish children at a local school to help them perform better in a primarily English based school. As my final product of the project, I raised money through fundraising, and purchased nearly 150 books to donate to an orphanage in Guatemala to help improve their literacy rates. I then had to present the entire project in front of a panel of five judges. From this project I learned many skills such as communication, leadership, and responsibility. These skills have continued to benefit me as I make the transition to Ohio State.
