His work is polished and diligent and in-class discussions are lively due to his participation. He listens to his peers, includes all, appreciates teamwork but is also naturally confident and he will concisely and intelligently make a marked point about a subject. A talented musician, he prioritizes music alongside his science and AP classes and three sports. This student is remarkable in that he dedicates his time and talent to many areas and interests, and he attends fully and genuinely to any task he's taking on and any group he's working with. He never gives a half-hearted effort and he's totally engaged during every effort."
