Do You feel Pressure to Excel?

senior Maggie McKain
There is a lot of competition in our
school due to the large amount of intelligent
people. For example, in AP classes it is even
harder to be the smartest in the class. "I am
always striving to be the best. " It is studoots
that create the pressure because they compete with each
other in grades.
At school I am known for being a perfectionist
and being very independent. I value academic success,
and one thing that I really hate is hypocritical people.
As a career I would like to be a Supreme Court
Justice-as long as I have a lot of men working under me,
I know I'll be happy!
