About Me

My name is Michael Kamer and I guess you could say I am just an average overachiever. To be quite honest, I have never really had to describe myself in depth so I will start by saying that I am a complete international nerd, I am into just about everything that is not American in nature. In particular, I love watching foreign films, specifically French films, which is absolutely natural as I am a complete francophile and am now taking college-level French past the AP level. In addition to international subjects, I also love history and good historical fiction as I am an avid reader.

I want to continue my straight A's since the beginning of high school as well as receive 4s and 5s on my AP exams this year. Additionally, I want to narrow down my list of colleges to a manageable number though I already know my future career path and major choices. I also want to continue my leadership positions in clubs, which are really the only relaxing part of my day until about 9 or 10 PM so I take advantage of being around people with whom I share common interests.

The most meaningful moment of my summer was when I spent two weeks in July at Emory University in Atlanta studying economics. Before I went to Emory, I had never before studied economics and entering into a class with kids from all over the world was a bit intimidating, but I feel like I really grew at Emory as a person and a student. I really got to learn what it is like to be in college and form bonds with professors as well as friendships with other students. The friends that I made at Emory are still some of my best friends even now during the school year though they may live far away.

I love film, especially foreign film, so my favorite website would be https://signup.netflix.com/. In addition to movies, I also love watching Bones and it has become my latest addiction.

If I had a superpower it would probably be the power to fly so I could avoid sitting in traffic or waiting for delayed planes.
