Unique story:
I earned my associate's degree before graduating from high school. I placed first in all three of my events at the Future Business Leaders of America Regional Leadership Conference and placed first at the State Leadership Conference, which qualifies me to compete at the National Leadership Conference in San Antonio this summer. All three of my siblings attended and graduated from Charleston Charter School for Math and Science. I received full rides to multiple colleges and over $1.1 million in scholarships.
