Educational Autobiography
Please note that my school was the Escuela Internacional Sampedrana in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. It is considered to be the second most prestigious school in Honduras, so please write it in this context.
For structural resources consider that the normal school’s curriculum outside the AP system wasn’t rigorous as it should be if it wants to effectively prepare its students for college.
I was a very disciplined, top 10 student, with a lot of academic competitiveness among my 134 classmates. My teachers admired my academic rigor and dedication.
Motivation to learn was to excel in college and become the best person I could be.
Please consider all or most of the questions.
Also for the pandemic, my school managed to use platforms such as Zoom effectively and no one had trouble connecting or accessing a device with Zoom (please note that I graduated high school in 2020).
