Taekwondo Instructor
As a black belt, I serve as an assistant instructor, assisting with classes, supporting younger students; and helping reinforce discipline, focus, confidence, and perseverance.
Hi, I’m Nathan.
A high school senior passionate about leadership, creativity, and service.
I’m excited to be applying to college and continuing a journey shaped by technology, storytelling, music, discipline, and service to others.
About me
Curious, creative, and always learning
I’m a motivated 12th grader who enjoys challenging myself academically and creatively. I’m interested in leadership, technology, storytelling, music, and giving back to my community. Through taekwondo, media, writing, and music, I’ve learned how much growth comes from consistency, collaboration, and the willingness to keep improving. I play both the saxophone and piano and enjoy music as a creative outlet and a way to connect with others.
Activities
Experiences that have shaped me
Media Volunteer
I volunteer with my church media team, helping operate cameras and supporting livestream production so messages and events can reach a wider audience.
Saxophone & Piano
I play the saxophone and piano. Music gives me another way to express creativity, build patience, and connect with people through performance.
Self-Published Author
In 7th grade, I self-published Short Stories Written in My 7th Grade. Turning my own ideas into a finished book taught me initiative, persistence, and the joy of creating.
What drives me
Values I bring with me
Leadership
I try to lead by example and encourage others to do their best.
Discipline
I stay committed to long-term goals and hold myself accountable.
Creativity
I enjoy turning ideas into stories, projects, and meaningful experiences.
Service
I value giving back to my community through the skills I've picked up.
Communication
I value listening well, working with others, and expressing ideas clearly.
Beyond the classroom
Growth also comes from trying new things.
I enjoy experiences that push me out of familiar routines. Whether I’m learning a new skill, helping with a production, or practicing music, I’m most engaged when there is something new to figure out.
I hope college will give me even more opportunities to learn, create, collaborate, and make a positive impact.
