I have never been one who is uncertain about my goals in life. I tend to know where I'm going and have a general plan of how to get there. The University of Chicago fits in perfectly with this mindset. The University of Chicago offers many extracurricular activities, a diverse student body, athletics and of course strong academics. I understand that the University of Chicago is a competitive environment and I come from a competitive high school, so I know what it's like to go to a school where every other student is trying their best. I come from a large public high school, Adlai E. Stevenson high school, in Lincolnshire, Illinois. At Stevenson, being that it's such a large school, each student has to take their own academic destiny into their own hands; if you want to do well, it's up to you.

I know I want to study history in college and it has always been a passion of mine! Stevenson offers 16 Social Studies courses ...
