Ariel Casarez

I am an optimistic and dedicated athlete and student. Without my grades, I wouldn’t have been able to wrestle this year at the inaugural girls CIF state wrestling. championships and come home with the 8thplace award (along with a scholarship offer to wrestle at Jamestown College in Jamestown, North Dakota). I also wouldn’t have physically made it there if my parents had not supported me. Achieving my academic goals would not have been possible without the tutors from the Nicholas Academic Center, who have helped me better my skills in reading and writing. I am especially grateful to Miguel who patiently helped me improve my math skills.
