 Along with the heavy academic load at Eastside College Preparatory School, Fred participated in a number of extra-curricular activities and volunteered his time and efforts with community service groups. He played basketball for his school, he was a member of the community branch of the Student Council, and participated in the Ambassadors Program, representing his school at community events. Outside of school he participated in the summer enrichment program, “Aim High” where he assisted a teacher in a 6th & 7th grade math class and was a tutor and bible club leader for Bayshore Christian Ministries. Fred was also awarded a scholarship to travel to Brazil the summer after his sophomore year with the Experiment in International Living. His English teacher says that it was clear that Fred had used his time abroad to mature and grow into his status as a role model. Fred dreams of being a pediatrician. To this end, this summer he had an internship at Stanford helping a graduate student study the cognitive development of infants and toddlers. One quote from his counselor’s recommendation really stood out: “There is greatness in Fred – catch it while you can!” We look forward to experiencing his greatness! Fred will be attending Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles. |
