“I have overcome many obstacles, both academic and personal, throughout my high school career, but none of them alone. I owe much of what I have achieved to familial support and encouragement, and a phrase my dad has imbued upon me: 'To eat an elephant, you take it one bite at a time.' I've had many 'elephants' come through my life, but with the help of this advice, none have been able to obstruct my achievements.”
