The High School Experience: Who Am I

now?

Personal Statement
I am qualified to graduate from LASGS because I have gained
peace of mind through an advanced level of knowledge through
the work I have created, based on all of the applicable learning
outcomes at this school.
LASGS has taught me to make rational choices so as to
increase my intellect in preparation for my future. It has made
me realize my self worth and that I can achieve high points in
life.
