        coming from a diverse background I am able to recognize others who are different and not judge them based on how they look or first seem to me.
    - - for my friends
        
        I care for my friends a lot, even if I need to work on my emotional intelligence to communicate it. On valentine's day I incorporate my love of art in our friendship and I make them cards.
      - In my work
        
        In my artwork, I always pour myself into the project, another example of what "leaning in" is for me.

        Track and Field
        
        Because I have an intelligence for "Body Movement" i enjoy trying new sports. this year I have chosen to join the Track and Field team to expand my athletic abilities.
    - - Multiple Intelligence: Language
        
        Being able to communicate with those who I am teaching is very important not only for safety but so that people are able to learn and improving their skiing with me.

        Being part of perennial has inspired me to take on leadership roles and working hard to improve my artwork. My goal is to become a senior art editor in the future.
        
        This also improves my emotional intelligence as my groupwork skills are not as good as I would like them to be. By collaborating with others on the Perennial I can develop these skills.

        Private School
        
        Branksome
        
        Coming previously from a public school I am able to appreciate the opportunities that Branksome offers, especially being able to learn with other girls that I consider family.
    - - I spend a lot of time with my cousins since they are the same age as me and we support each other and talk about our problems. I am lucky to have family my age that I can share with.
        
        Going forward, I will use the key ideas from the Sheryl Sandberg TED talk to support my family, and maintain close ties with my cousin.
    - - Camp
        
        At my camp we constantly remind ourselves of our priviledge of being able to spend our summer in such a wonderful place. One example of the forms of gratitude we show at camp is something we do called "Rose and Thorn". We do this at night before we go to bed and we go around the cabin saying one thing we are grateful for from our day (rose) and one thing we didn't enjoy or wish we could change (thorn).
      - Travel
        
        Being able to travel to exciting places like I did last year in Korea is an amazing opportunity, and Iast year I used it to the full extent by surrounding myself with all jeju had to offer and embracing Korea.
    - - Happy Moments
        
        Everyday I write in my journal ! good or happy memory from the day that I am grateful for. This allows my to reflect inwardly on my life and how lucky I am.
  - - - Nutrition
        
        Nutrition is an important part of my life, not only to help me lead a healthy lifestyle but also for me as an athlete. Every day I make sure that I receive enough nutrients from all of the food groups.
        
        Smoothies
        
        I used to not like fruit very much because of the texture, and I have changed that this year by making smoothies! Now I find that I enjoy fruit much more. I have been able to adapt to my dislike to the texture of fruit, so that I still maintain a healthy lifestyle.
      - Sleep
        
        Sleep is important for me to function in school and sports. Using a sleep track app, I monitor my sleep to ensure I have at least 7 hours of sleep each night
    - - Things that make me less stressed
        
        Drawing
        
        Drawing or doodling allows me to go into a relaxed mindset. I often do it on the subway ride home or in class as it usually helps me to focus. As a visual learner I am able to focus this way.
        
        Music
        
        Music is an escape for me and listening to my favorite songs motivate me and inspire me in my art and schoolwork.
        
        Ukelele
        
        As a new year's resolution I decided to learn how to play ukulele. I really enjoy playing it since I previously played piano, It's very relaxing for me.
        
        Friends
        
        During school if I am ever stressed, I will spend time with my friends not only to distract me from the issue i'm worried about but to motivate me by telling me about their day and their achievements. This also develops my empathy which will help me gain a further understanding of emotional intelligence and be able to work and collaborate with others.
    - - Journaling and time-planning allows me to keep all of my items (homework, reminders, notes, etc.) in one place. My journal is a large part of my life and I use it in various ways.
        
        Prioritizing
        
        I use my journal to prioritize the things I need to do by importance and by difficulty. By being organized I am able to prepare my mind for doing work, and I'm able to work while I'm stressed, part of what I learned from Kelly McGonigal's Stress TED Talk.
        
        Reflecting
        
        I use my journal to reflect on my day by writing one happy memory in it every day. This allows my to express gratitude for the things in my life i enjoy.
- - - - Academics
        
        My family has always valued hard work and part of being able to attend such a great school, and part of showing my gratitude for this opportunity is using it to it's fullest extent, which means to work hard in my schoolwork.

        Mental Health is very important to me as I was personally affected by it when I was in 8th grade when one of my teammates committed suicide. Since then, I have made an effort inwardly and externally to prevent this from happening again. By reflecting gratitude I am able to benefit my mental health and each year I volunteer at a fundraising walk in honor of my teammate.
