Senior year has officially begun, and with it comes a mix of excitement, responsibility, and the weight of expectations. This year is unlike any before—not only because it’s my last in high school but also because of the roles I’ve taken on and the challenges I’m preparing to face.

The leadership positions I will take are:
1. SNHS – Cheongna Dalton School Chapter
2. Mu Alpha Theta – Cheongna Dalton School Chapter
4. Java Programming
5. Elmag SOT
6. Chemistry SOT
Also, I have the pleasure of serving as a Teacher’s Assistant for AP Calculus BC and AP Statistics. My schedule this year is packed, but I see it as an opportunity to leave an impact and grow as a leader.

The courses I will be taking this year are:
1. AP Biology
2. AP Lang
3. AP Physics C: Mechanics
4. AP Psychology
5. Communications

Despite the heavy workload, my wishes for this year is simple: stay consistent, push through difficulties, and make the most of every opportunity. I want to set an example as a leader, not just in name but in action—whether that means helping my clubs thrive, guiding students as a TA, or simply being reliable in everything I commit to. There will be challenges, late nights, and moments of doubt, but I refuse to let them define my experience. Instead, I’ll approach this year with resilience and purpose, knowing that every effort I put in now will shape the person I become beyond high school.
