CSI: High School for International Studies for me was an open door to a larger world. Some may think, "Really? It's such a small school!" I came from a small, private, Catholic school. I was SO not ready to go out into the whole high school setting. CSIHSIS fit my standards well because the school is so small, very focused on international affairs, and it's not like other schools with 1000 or more people.
CSI has benefited me academically in many ways. I've accomplished the basic subjects: math, english, science, and global. What was new to me was something called "global technology". At first I wasn't so sure, but it ended up being really easy! Freshman year was a struggle, but I passed!
I always try to volunteer for anything. I'm just the kind of person to say "yes" whenever you need help. I always thought it was a bad thing, but not when volunteering! I got to help out at PTA meetings, open houses, bake sales, fundraisers, and even at the Special Olympics. It was such an amazing feeling to know that I did something to help out.
Traveling was one of the main reasons I picked CSI. They have so many trips across seas. This year (2009) I'm a part of a Switzerland exchange. My friend Sandrine is coming over here in about a week or so, and I'll be going over to Switzerland during Spring Break. This will be my first trip abroad. I'm so thankful for picking CSI, because it has everything I want: small population, new subjects, challenging ideas, and the ability to share all my work across the globe.
