Although I have introduced myself a thousand times today, simply stating a first name, surname, and hometown does not do any person justice…
My name is Allison Miller. As a rising senior at Carlisle School in Martinsville, Virginia, my challenges to overcome in high school’s last year will be great; the largest of which will be handling a full IB schedule along with being yearbook editor. Other activities I must tend to are sports (dance, soccer, and a state ranked field hockey team), being a member of the school’s literary magazine club, and actively participating in school drama productions. I also appreciate getting involved in my student government as SCA treasurer and have held office in the honor council. Along with this challengeing load, it is up to I and each other student of Carlisle School to find time in our hectic schedules to reach out to the community. So far, my areas of service include: three years of repairing houses on the Appalachian Service Project, one year of both the magistry math club (to tutor children) and the interact club, a week in Honduras aiding in medical mission, and various hours at my local habitat for humanity.
…now, will any of that help me pass IB TOK?
I can only hope
