1. Are you the first in your family to attend college? Yes

2. Which teacher(s) will you ask to write letters of recommendation on yourbehalf?

1. Ms. Conanan (now Mrs. Shields)2. Mr. Airaghi

3. Besides a future career, how will college benefit your academic curiosity? Whatelse are you looking for in your college experience?

I think college will expose me to a broader range of courses which will allow myintelligence to have more variation. More specifically than a career I am looking forcollege to point me in a certain direction in the field of psychology and I am alsolooking to make lifelong friends.4. What three words best describe you, and why do you think they are good

descriptors? (Provide detailed examples, anecdotes, etc.)Self-aware because I know my academic limits and I’m not scared to push them alittle bit.Reliable because I have never let a partner down on any sort of paired assignment.I think that’s because it’s one thing to let yourself down, but it’s a completelydifferent game to let someone else down.Honest because I make it my mission to make sure that I am always telling thetruth like when I occasionally forget my hw I don’t make up some excuse, I takefull responsibility for it.5. What are your personal strengths? Give examples that document them!One of my personal strengths is my ability to work under pressure, and my

dedication to finishing assignments. Now I realize that some of the pressure comesfrom the fact that I tend to procrastinate, but even when I procrastinate I will doeverything in my power to make sure I have the assignment completed on theclass that it is due6. What are your academic strengths? These should be different from #2!I believe that math is my strong point. I have always had a knack for math classesand even enjoy them unlike many other students. I find math to be much morestraightforward than other classes and I suppose that’s why I tend to be prettygood at them.7. What has been the most satisfying course you have taken? Why?I can easily say that AP Psychology has been the most satisfying course that I have

taken. I say this because it made me realize how interested I was in the field of psychology. On top of that in this course I found out how often in the field of psychology that there is interaction with people, and the thought that I might beable to help someone else is really nice.8. Life’s obstacles allow us to grow. Describe an obstacle that has affected you. There was a time in high school when my parents seemed to be having seriousmarital problems which believe it or not helped me focus on school. But it mademe realize that everything isn’t guaranteed and you have to put work into

STUDENT INFORMATION & SELF-ASSESSMENT

**Be sure to explain your answers. By providing specific details, you assistyour counselor in conveying the most accurate story of who you really are

to the College Admissions Committee**



anything you do if you want it to be successful (I drew that conclusion after theybegan working at the relationship and things got better).9. What three things would you want a college admissions committee to know

about you? Give examples or relate a specific anecdote to explain.I would want them to know that although I haven’t been in high school, I fully planto become involved in whatever school I get into because I deeply regret not beingmore involved during high school.10. Describe any cultural experiences and their impact on you.

11. Which single activity has been most important to you and why? (You maychoose a school-affiliated program or an independent one.)

12. What if anything, would you do differently if you had to experience highschool again? If nothing, how have you made the most of your Chantillyexperience?

I would definitely be more involved in school related activities and clubs. I feel likeI missed out on a whole aspect of high school just because I didn’t think there was

anything for me, which I realized too late, was wrong.13. Describe any work or volunteer experiences you have had? How did theexperience impact you?

I worked at the snack bar at the community pool and it was fairly straight forwardwork. Taking peoples orders, making the food, and cleaning up the work area. Ithink the experience taught me the true value of money so I’m a little bit smarterwhen it comes to my money.14. Describe an incident in which you demonstrated strong character (loyalty,

integrity, self-discipline, kindness, commitment to high ideals, caring for others,etc.) Think outside the box, not cheating is not the only answer!

I think the incident that best shows my character would be back in sophomore year

when one of my friends asked to copy my English paper. Instead of giving myessay to him I told him that I would help him in writing the essay. He got an A onthe paper and because I helped him instead of just giving him the paper, he betterunderstood the material we were writing about (which just so happened to be ToKill A Mockingbird ) and he got a B+ on the test the next class that covered thematerial we wrote about in the essay.15. If you had a motto to live by, what would it be and why?

16. What are your potential personal statement/essay topics?(Your recommendation(s) should complement your essays, but not duplicate your efforts!)

For the personal statements I thought I would write about my interest in the field I

want to go into (psychology) how it begun and why I want to be in that field. Foressays I like writing about how a bad incident has helped improve me.
