His academic career shows the result of persistent hard work – severe advanced placement courses and a straight-A record.

An avid dancer, Ashley has participated in a dance company and on the cheerleaders squad, which she believes is a good way of taking part in the game without actually playing on the team. Nonetheless, she was an enthusiastic “player” as captain of the volleyball team, sports editor of the school newspaper, president of her church youth group, and vice president of education on the student council. Her work in the Presidential Classroom and at New York University’s Wall Street Seminar have prepared her for the social science courses she plans to take at Vanderbilt University.

Presidential Scholar, National Merit Finalist, Valedictorian, and Academic All-Star---Matt Noble is so much more. This year he led his scholars' bowl team to a perfect season and pitched every game for his softball team. But that's not all, Matt can sing every song on the Led Zeppelin II album by memory.

	Year: 2001 Jennifer M. Forsythe Birmingham, AL, John Carroll High School   I have written to entertain myself since I was seven, I have only recently discovered that sometimes other people seem to be entertained by what I write. I write because I like to make people laugh and ask questions. I like writing characters that are people I want to meet. People and words fascinate me. R. Buckminster Fuller said, "Dare to be naïve!" Those words are some of the best I have ever read. Salvador Dali called one of his paintings "Two Pieces of Bread Expressing the Sentiment of Love." Those words are excellent as well. Also, one time my fortune cookie said, "the weather is wonderful," and when I went outside, it was raining.
