FinalistBio
When I was in middle school, my teachers gave me a certificate that said, "Most Likely to Take Over the World." I was always amazed that my teachers saw what my peers never did. I was a quiet and shy "nerd". I didn't come out of my shell until college. I am proud to say, I am going to prove my middle school teachers right. I have started studying for my LSAT and can't wait to start applying to law schools.

Bold Study Strategies Scholarship
My study strategies have changed tremendously throughout the years. I went to a project-based middle school, where the studying and homework outside of class was very limited. I had a tutor when I was a freshman in high school, she taught me very important study tips. I am going to discuss the three that has helped me the most.
The first one and arguably the most important one is self-care and taking breaks from the stress that comes along with studying. I have found that if I stress about studying, I can not sleep. Which makes it incredibly difficult to do good on tests and other assignments I have to do at school. If I practice self care it reduces my stress.
The second one was organization and keeping my bag and study space clean. If I do this I am able to find what I need, and remember what I have to do before it slips my mind.
The third one is the simplest and has helped me the most. I use sticky notes, I LOVE STICKY NOTES! Sticky notes help me keep track of my todo lists, which can be pretty long during the school year.
