Greetings,
My name is Denarius Leslie, and I am 15 years old. This fall, I will enter my sophomore year at Somerset College Preparatory Academy in Port St. Lucie, Florida. As a student at Somerset, a 6-12 charter school, I have been an active member of the choir throughout my tenure.
Within the school community, I participate in a diverse array of clubs, including student council and National Honor Societies. Additionally, I am concurrently enrolled in college courses, studying surgical services and criminal justice.
My time at Somerset has afforded me numerous opportunities for choral-related travel. I initially began as a soprano 1, but later transitioned to tenor within the same year. I am now capable of singing a range from soprano 1 to bass 2. Notably, our choir was invited to perform at the London International Choral Festival this past December, as well as to march in the New Year’s parade.
Singing is one of my foremost passions and hobbies, alongside playing volleyball and baseball. Furthermore, I serve as the junior president of my mother’s non-profit organization, which collaborates with the Department of Juvenile Justice.
As an only child, I find joy in a variety of activities, including traveling, shopping, attending church, and engaging in school. Looking ahead, I aspire to pursue both MD and JD degrees, with the ambition of becoming a neurosurgeon and a banking attorney.
This marks my first year participating in SCI, and I am eager to embark on this journey with all of you. I look forward to meeting everyone soon!
Best regards,
Denarius Leslie
This is me on my 15th birthday this year!
