Isabel Juarez

Carl Schurz High School '08, Pomona College - Class of 2013

Isabel Juarez is not your average Chicago high school student. A recent arrival in the U.S. from Guatemala, Isabel skipped straight over any fears she might have had about her new environment and went straight to the top of her class in a little over a year. Amazingly, she is also captain of the debate team, the Academic decathlon top scorer, and a science fair finalist. Needless to say, she is quite amazing. Although she hasn't settled on a future career, Isabel knows that whatever she does in the future she wants to help her home country of Guatemala.
