So before I add my stories here I'll talk a bit about myself without getting too personal. I am 15 years old and have lived in Chicago all my life. Before attending Whitney Young I went to a Montessori grade school in Oak Park for preschool until 8th grade. The school was called Alcuin Montessori School, and was a very small school built in an old church. For those who don’t know, Montessori is a type of school that encourages a lot of freedom and responsibility at a young age, self-motivated learning, and then more rigorous course-work when one is older.
Outside of school I love to sail and swim. I’m also an open water and wreck diver, and I love to surf and kayak. As I write this I realize that that’s basically saying I love the seaJ. Anyhow, on land I am also an avid cyclist, and I race on a national level with my racing team. I also have been taking Wushu lessons since I was eight, and have the past year been practicing Krav Maga, which is the Israeli Special Forces martial art. Aside from that I love to travel and hang out with friends, and will live abroad as an adult
