The most exciting week of the year in ISM is finally here! On the night of Friday, May 19th, Liberty HS ISM will host its annual Final Presentation Night here on campus. At 6:00 pm, all students will be presenting our works in the same set-up style as we had back in January at Research Showcase. After an hour of the booth presentations, everyone will migrate from the gymnasium into the auditorium, where each of the ISM students this year will go up to the front of the stage to give a personal thank-you to their mentors and hand them their official 2017-2018 Mentorship plaques. Following this formal tradition, the individual presentations in separate classrooms throughout the school building will begin. A few weeks ago, each ISM student picked a room to call their own for the night, and I was so lucky to get the first room in the closest hallway to the front of the building! My volunteers will help me set my room up while we are presenting in the auditorium, so I can make my way to my room and start my individual presentation at 8 o’clock sharp. It is hard to believe that the year’s hard work is finally coming together and will be presented as whole at the end of this week, but I am very excited to share my work under Dr. Gerlacher with my friends and family. Something else to look forward to is the Liberty HS Senior Lock-In at Six Flags, beginning at 10 pm after FPN and going all the way until 6:00 the next morning! Besides the excitement that Friday will bring, I will also be attending senior reunions for Borchardt Elementary School and Fowler Middle School, my fourth and last tennis banquet, and the annual Frisco ISD Top Ten Luncheon, where I will be honoring my tennis coach of seven years, Coach Dopson. This week will be a whirlwind of bittersweet reunions and exciting celebrations of the end of my senior year, and I am looking forward to it!

The first two weeks of May always bring the infamous AP weeks that all high school students dread. For my senior year courseload, I took two exams last week and will be taking my last two on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. Since Frisco ISD doesn't have midterms or final exams for high school students, AP exams serve as our version of finals. I know that in college, having comprehensive exams at the end of courses will definitely be something that I have to adjust to, so I am thankful that we have AP tests to give us a sense of what full-course exams are like. In addition to AP exams, we had the Frisco Education Foundation scholarship night last week, where scholarship recipient students from all of Frisco ISD came together at the Dr. Pepper stadium to meet our donors and be recognized for our awards. Over 800 seniors from the nine high schools in the district ate dinner with their donors and went up to the stage to be accept their scholarships. It was an exciting night spent with high-achieving individuals and generous donors from the city of Frisco. I was so honored to be the recipient of the Frisco Women's League Endowed Scholarship and the Frisco Education Foundation Merit Scholarship. As AP exams wrap up at the end of this week, I will be devoting my time to Final Presentation Night and then preparing for graduation!
