Lipscomb Academy is not only an enjoyable environment and a comprehensive community but also a family filled with love and respect. Going through the difficult transition from one culture to another, the teachers and students at the academy welcomed me with warm hugs and offered me so much help. Despite my family far from home, they embrace me into the school and make me feel like I have an even bigger family here at Lipscomb.”

Currently, I'm engaged as an undergraduate Teaching Assistant in both computer science and biology. Additionally, I'm involved in research centered on computational chemistry and pharmaceuticals with a professor, which I find immensely stimulating. As I delve deeper into these fields, I'm increasingly aware of how pivotal my experience at Lipscomb Academy was in shaping my academic interests, particularly in mathematics and the natural sciences. It also significantly prepared me for the rigors of writing and literature courses, which can be challenging even for native speakers.
I owe a great deal of my academic growth and enthusiasm to the guidance and support I received at Lipscomb Academy, and for that, I am deeply thankful to you, your family, and the entire academy staff. The experiences and values I gained there have been instrumental in helping me face challenges with integrity and a willingness to assist others in need.
