From Overcoming Stage Fright to Achieving Academic Excellence
Paige's journey through high school and 3DE has been marked by significant personal and academic growth. Reflecting on her transformation, Paige recalls how she overcame stage fright and gained confidence in herself.
One of Paige's proudest achievements in her high school career is earning a spot on the Principal’s Honor Roll. Despite the pandemic-driven academic challenges she faced her freshman year, she was determined to get back on track and worked hard to bolster her grades to honor roll status.
A standout experience during Paige’s time in 3DE was her 11th grade Market Day. She describes this time as a fun and an opportunity to witness the creativity of her peers as they presented their business ideas. Additionally, it allowed Paige to bond with her group members and build lasting connections.
Looking back, Paige believes she will remember the business case challenges during her 9th and 10th grade years the most. These challenges required significant effort and teamwork, leaving a lasting impression on her.
As Paige prepares for the next chapter of her life, she is excited to attend the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, where she will study Pharmacology and Medicine. She looks forward to tapping into her love of education to and pursuing success in both science and the arts.
Paige's journey through 3DE has equipped her with the confidence, skills, and determination to make her dreams reality. Join us in honoring Paige’s accomplishments and anticipating the great things she will achieve in the years to come!
