Veronica is a very compassionate and highly motivated student. She was born and raised in Lebanon and has recently immigrated to the U.S.. Veronica finds joy by helping others and giving back to her community.

Veronica is most proud of her work as an AP Chemistry peer tutor during her Sophomore year of high school. As a peer tutor, Veronica helped her classmates succeed and retain complex chemistry lessons, while also creating practice problems for them. Determination and hardwork inspired Veronica to begin peer tutoring and help her classmates comprehend complex chemistry topics. Inspired by her supportive peers, Veronica dedicated her time and energy after school hours to preparing practice problems and lessons to tutor her peers because she always found pride in helping those in need, even if she had to learn the topic.

Veronica is inspired to help others by her dad. Growing up, she always used to watch her father help those in need, no matter the circumstance. Says Veronica, “My greatest hero taught me to always help others, and treat people the way I want to be treated. I gave all my time and effort to tutor my friends because I couldn’t get the help I needed, so I taught myself AP Chemistry and helped them. Giving acts of service is one of the best things I learned to do in my seventeen years on earth.”
