Hello my name is Jai I graduated from Oakridge International School as the class of 2011. I Was lucky enough to be head boy and i think i
have a very close personal relationship with the people it opened in the place so
currently I did a degree in biology from UC Berkeley and I'm applying the
Medical School now i worked for a year as a third grade teacher, and i worked
for a year as a consultant in the Bay Area in California i think Oakridge was
actually pretty instrumental in me deciding actually. I think I want to go to
Pediatrics That's why that's my long-term goal.
I share a passion of one of my teachers from Oakridge on he's
my biology teacher and I had never met anyone who's so passionate of it or so
interested in a subject and who didn't teach teaching like a job until I met
this teacher and He taught me I looked up to him as a role model and so he
taught me that also shared that passion of biology And I saw how we had a
relationship And so he also taught me to have a passion for mentoring so when I
was a teacher for third grade students or it I loved the mentorship aspect of
it And I think that's how I kind of settled on pediatric so I get to work with
kids as well as work with biology so the Oakridge was actually surprisingly
instrumental in me getting here, and I'll always have over to be thankful for
it Oh clearly inspired me to do a lot of things so I was lucky, so I I'm what
some people call it jack-of-all-trades.
I love I want to do everything I want to I want to read a
book. I want to run a mile. I want to play basketball I want to be a leader. I
want to I just want to try it all right and It was only through Oakridge that I
that had all those Experiences tied into the same place where I could do
everything from one school if I wanted to be a leader that opportunity was
ready for me right and so I Got lucky III don't remember. How we chose overage,
but it changed my life.
I met people who cared about me people who could inspire me,
and I got this this wonderful culminating experience, so I'm so close to my
teachers from eight years ago imagine. I got to 2011 right. I'm still close to
my ninth tenth eleventh and twelfth teachers and I recently spoke to she's
currently the vice principal Haymitch on apathy and She told me that and this
was the most moving thing she told me that That she was more concerned about Children
I was children having the childhood dreams and experiences in school than then
learning discipline and courses and I felt I felt extremely moved because I met
someone who back then eight years ago Was as concerned about my day-to-day the
friends. I was making the food.
I was eating the role models I was making right they were
asking sir about those things a teacher a teacher who had to teach me Studies
and in academics as well She was asking about those things. I was right as I as
I as a 16 year old kid was and so I To be frank, I think I was blessed. I think
I got lucky Oakridge is an amazing school, and I guarantee you Whether your kid
is shy whether your kid is? Excited whether they're adventurous whether they
they're a bookworm, whether they love video games there's something here That
they will enjoy as I did
