This past spring, I graduated with honors from Clay High School in Oregon, Ohio. Throughout my four years of high school, I was consistently in the top 10% of my class. Upon graduation, not only was I in the top 10%, but I was in the top ten students as well. I graduated fifth in my class of approximately 300 students. I also received recognition for several different aspects of my academic success. Among these tasks was earning a 32 on the ACT, receiving the President’s award, and being involved in National Honor Society as well as Tri-M Music Honors Society. In addition, I was also able to obtain several scholarships from my school for my accomplishments academically, as well as musically, to assist me as I began my journey at Ohio State.
