At SJB, I was encouraged to lead with confidence, grow through challenge, and dream beyond what I imagined was possible. SJB has been the foundation of my growth as both an individual and a leader. The Chutney Dance Team taught me the true meaning of leadership - guiding, empowering, and listening to others. Becoming captain pushed me outside my comfort zone and helped me discover strengths I didn't know I had. With the support of my guidance counselor, I joined the Seeds College Prep Program at Columbia University, which gave me the confidence and tools to navigate the college application process. SJB's College Essay Writing Program helped me craft a personal statement that played a key role in my acceptance to New York University!
Serving as Student Council Secretary and later Vice-President taught me how to balance responsibility with empathy and clear communication. These experiences prepared me not just for college, but for life. As I move forward, I carry with me the lessons and values instilled in me at SJB-knowing that, like so many Jeanites before me, my story is only just beginning.
