Tulane Concurrent Enrollment Classes I would have liked to participate

List your three best qualities. Explain each with several sentences. Think
about the aspects of yourself you would like to have stressed to colleges.
BRAG...you won't be considered boastful -I want to know you and what
your strengths are!

Driven I want nothing more than to achieve the things that Ive set as
goals for myself. This drive keeps pushing me forward and keeps me
inspired to work hard.

Humble I still find it really hard to accept compliments after a

performance, even if I think I did well. I think humbleness is key to success
because it prevents arrogance, which I think repels forward progression.

What has been your proudest accomplishment or greatest challenge thus

far in your life? What did it require of you and how did you grow from it?

Guys and Dolls Playing Nathan in this show was the first time Id been
blessed with the opportunity to carry a show. I was forced to hone my
comic timing and hold a hefty responsibility for several months and Im
really proud of what we were able to do.

Have you traveled or lived anywhere that has had a considerable influence
on you? Where and what kind of influence did it have?

(HS)2 Not only did spending five weeks in Carbondale, CO for two
consecutive summers make me a better student, it also made me a better
person. I was exposed to both rigorous academics and the realities of
living away from home.

accurate appraisal of me to colleges and universities would include:
