About me: I am an extremely ambitious high school senior. My interests include writing, reading, and public speaking. I love interacting with people, especially children. My passion is revealing the truth, which is why political science, English, and journalism intrigue me. My favorite TV show is Lost. I earned a 5 on all 3 AP tests, 2100 on SAT, & my weighted GPA is 4.7. I made a Facebook group with 34,000 members called From A to Zinch: The Alyssa Jaffer Project, to become one of the Final 64. I decided to participate in March Madness to help my unemployed parents send me to UC Berkeley in the fall.
Activities: My favorite hobby is reading. I babysit, & tutor Spanish & English. I've competed on the Speech & Debate team for 4 years. I earned 2nd place in the County & went to the State tournament. I've served on the Board for 2 years. I'm the copresident of Interfaith club, and been a Link Leader for 2 years
How would I move Mount Fuji: The same way Ben and John Locke moved the island in Lost. I'd turn a giant underground wheel and with a great flash of light, move Mount Fuji backwards in time.
"The day we no longer know how, nor have the time nor the faith, to bow in prayer to Allah because the human soul that He has told us is eternal, is no longer of sufficient importance to us to be worthy of an hour of our daily working, profit seeking time, will be a sunless day of despair." - Convocation address at Peshawar University
