Who Am I and Who Can I Become?: The Class of 2023

Written by Adrianne Finley Odell | May 24, 2023 4:37:48 PM

Our mission asks students to consider the question Who Am I and Who Can I Become?

Inspired by our faculty and guided by our exceptional team of college counselors, seniors are able to articulate their journeys of self-discovery through their college essays. This year's essays explored all sides of our students' experiences, from intellectually challenging academic projects to equally rewarding creative and extracurricular pursuits.

Charles Bingham '23 wrote about his mind for the creative as well as the clinical. In addition to his strong academic performance which will lead him to a pre-med track, he is a skilled woodworker, an entrepreneur who started his own business, and a talented vocalist with a full portfolio of musical achievements. Next stop: Davidson College

 

Anjali Shankar '23 shared her passion for learning about people, both at the molecular level as an aspiring biochemist on her way to a pre-med track and as an officially trained N4 Story Exchange facilitator. Her empathy, guidance, and intellect shine throughout her essay. Next stop: University of Pennsylvania

 

Sierra Smith '23 expressed her work as an award-winning photographer who also conducted research on birds, swamp ghost crabs, and rainforest animals in Puerto Rico through the Audubon Society. She also discussed her work as the founder of NexxgenSTEM, an organization that mentors younger girls in STEM fields with a focus on those from underserved communities.
