What was your favorite Stanford OHS course and why?
I can't decide between Advanced Biology and the Neuroscience course. If you know me, this should come as no surprise. Advanced Bio taught me so much about the world of research and gave me the endurance to write a thirty-page paper. Neuroscience was the class where the material was so fun to learn that taking the course felt like more play than work.
What is your favorite extracurricular activity?
Anything to do with being in the water. I really enjoy playing water polo, a sport I have been involved in for the last seven years or so. It fosters a competitive spirit (something that has helped me greatly at Stanford OHS) and forces you to push past your physical limits.
What is your favorite/best Stanford OHS memory?
Our discussion in DFRL last year that encompassed overpriced crab cakes, the beauty of the Grand Canyon, and John Rawls's theory of justice. I'm thankful to be at a place like Stanford OHS where discussions that seem strange can make me so happy.
What advice do you wish you could known at the start of your Stanford OHS journey?
Start early on your assignments. The first two weeks of class are the most critical, and it is this period in which you can work hard and do really well on your assignments. Take your time with friendships and relationships, but choose the friends who will make you better. I found a group of friends whose company I enjoy and who enjoy mine only in eleventh grade. Many members of this group have helped form key aspects of myself I'm most proud of, such as my work ethic.
