<p>General: Rising Senior, Male, Alabama.</p>
<p>Ethnicity:Native American.</p>
<p>Career Interests:Dentistry, culinary arts, broadcasting. </p>
<p>School Info: Our school first opened in 2005 when I was a Freshman. I'll be apart of the first four-year graduating class. My school became an IB school this past year, however, you have to be a Freshman when you begin the IB program, so I wasn't able to participate in the program.</p>
<p>School Stats:
GPA: 4.0 Unweighted. 4.083 Weighted. This year was the first year we could take APs, and I got an A in both of those classes (AP US/AP 11 English). Senior year I should have 4 AP classes, and an honors Spanish 5 class which'll be on a 4.5 scale? lol. That's just what my Spanish teacher told me. Anyway, If I get all A's again, I should complete high school with just over a 4.2 weighted GPA. Toughest courseload offered.</p>
<p>Rank: 1/200+ (not sure on exact #, obviously).</p>
<p>Testing:
I just saw my score today and I got a 30 (4 point improvement from February). Words can't describe how I felt; I cried for a moment for Christ's sake! 18.5 hours of studying! LOL.</p>

-Varsity football Quarterback. (Freshman year we just worked out because we didn't get a coaching staff in time. Sophomore year I was the Varsity backup (although I did play in some Varsity games), started JV and was the captain of JV. Junior year, I was the starter and team captain and was second on the team in touchdowns---only behind our all-metro WR/RB. Senior year...I doubt I'll play. All of our coaches were fired and I knew back in November that I was done. I worked harder than anyone, and I was just sick of the BS. I was no longer happy playing, so I will just move on. Yeah, the attention that goes along with being the quarterback is cool, but that's not what matters. Happiness matters, not highschool "fame".
-I had a Private quarterback coach for football for 2 years. I would go to school from 8-3:10. Football practice from 3:30 to sometimes 6:30, and then a two hour session with private QB coach after that. I did that in the football season and in the summer for 3-4 times a week.
-Art. I placed 3rd in state for a 2D art contest. I also got honorable mention in state for this "Post-Card" contest.
-Quiz Bowl (2 years - fresh year we didn't have it, soph year I did it, this past year I tried to do it but it was SO unorganized, and I'm going to do it Senior year).
-If I don't play football, I'm either going to do Mixed Martial Arts, play Piano, or play Baseball or Soccer in the spring. A job is a possibility, as well as getting a trainer at the gym (lol, only feels right considering I won't be playing football).</p>
<p>Community Service:-This summer I'll get around 150-200 hours with Big Brothers, Big Sisters. I've gotten around 70 at my Uncle's golf course, and another 10 or so with Spanish-club related stuff.</p>
<p>**Possible Hooks? <a href="I'm%20not%20too%20sure%20if%20all%20of%20these%20are%20hooks,%20but%20I%20suppose%20some%20are%20possible">/b</a>:
-I live with my father; he will make about 100k this year, but we use to be poor and nobody else is contributing to my college fund/expenses other than my father.
-Mother has had all sorts of health problems; cancer being one of them.
-Native American.
-Region. Perhaps because I'm from Alabama?</p>
<p>Awards:
-Letter from the Mayor acknowledging my achievements in highschool due to seeing me featured in the newspaper.

-A honor roll.
-As stated before, 3rd in state in 2D art competition, honorable mention in another contest, and 2nd in state in this QuizBowl-esque thing for this Spanish competition (same event that I won 3rd in state in for Art). </p>
<h2>-This year I will be named our school's "Most Oustanding Spanish Student". Only 1 kid per school is named this.</h2>
<p>Chance me for ED & RD, please. I'm hoping to get good aid/merit so my dad will only have to pay 15-20 max a year.</p>
