<p>Hello! I'm currently a freshman applying for tenth grade. I am bilingual in Arabic and English and from middle eastern descent. I have dual citizenship; Palestinian and American. I am applying to Andover, Exeter, Deerfield, and Lawrenceville. </p>
<p>I am in all honors classes and am getting straight A's. I had trouble in the beginning of the school year with registration and did not come in until two weeks into the school year. :( I am taking Latin.</p>
<p>I skipped a year in math. I have great essays and I think that my teachers are going to write good recommendations, as well as the vice principal because I know her personally, even though I am in a school with 2,500+ students.</p>
<p>I have gone to Arabic school for the past ten years and have maintained an "A" average. I have won constant awards at Arabic school. I volunteer in peer jury, WITH Islamic/Arabic organizations, and Snowflake program as teen staff. I write my own poetry and have performed it and won awards. I have also performed poems in Arabic. I am a JCL member. I go to the annual Muslim American Society convention every year for the past four years, and have recently begun to attend the American Muslims for Palestine Conferences. I was in NJHS in middle school. I was in Gifted And Talented Enrichment program all throughout elementary and middle school. I take an extra class at school that is optional (I have to wake up at six for it) I have placed in regionals at the science fair for the past four years. I also got third in the Math and Science Award from the entire school last year. I have attended Snowflake for the past two years as well. I have been part of Peer Mediation since fifth grade when I was chosen by peers and staff.</p>
<p>I spend my summers at the mosque in programs that last from Monday through Thursday for the entire summer at the time of regular school days. I have been a media aide and a part of book club for two years.</p>
<p>This year I am doing MUN, DECA, Speech and Debate, Peer Mediation, Scholastic Bowl, and Literary Magazine and Newspaper.</p>
<p>I hope to get a good score on the ISEE!!!</p>
<p>-Thank you!!</p>
