Atticus is passionate about dance and computers. To him dance is a sport, an art, but also a way of being. Meditation is to Atticus' mind as dance is to his body. With the guidance of meditation, he learned the dance of effective studying (at least sometimes). Atticus wants to become an engineer-innovator. He loves technology, but more than that he loves the things that technology can do. People sometimes limit their abilities to inflexible structures, like the artificial dichotomy between the humanities and engineering. To truly innovate, Atticus feels he needs to combine these aspects of himself. Atticus' goals for the year are to become fluent in Spanish while learning about Ecuadorian culture before he goes to Swarthmore College as an engineer-innovator, bridging the gap between artistry and technology.To see more about Atticus, you can view his college application website: http://attuno.wixsite.com/collegeprofile.“From self-discipline, self-awareness, and clear realization of the defects of anger and the positive effects of kindness, come happiness and peace.” His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
