Senior Spotlight: Quỳnh Trang "Tracy" Dao Do
April 18, 2019
As President of the Boarding Student Government and the Asian Culture Club, a member of the National Honor Society, a Student Ambassador, and a full IB Diploma Candidate, Tracy has embraced a variety of leadership roles and activities in her time at Léman. "The most important thing I've learned from these roles is confidence," she says, "Before I came to Léman, I had difficulty speaking up and expressing myself, but Léman has made me more comfortable in my own skin and I think I've grown as a person."
She is most proud of her achievements as a founding member of the Asian Culture Club. "We wrote a letter asking Mr. Spezzano if we could have chopsticks in the café, and it makes me feel good seeing people use them. It's a small thing that makes Asian students feel at home. I love teaching and learning from other people about different cultures, which is why I'm grateful to be a part of such an international community," she says.
She feels that she will continue to grow and learn in the fall when she enrolls at Barnard College, ranked #25 in National Liberal Arts Colleges by US News and World Report, where she plans to major in Biology. "I grew up in Vietnam, where women aren't taught to be outspoken and opinionated. I think going to an all-women's school will help me continue to become more successful," she says.
One of the main reasons her family chose Léman when they were looking for a school in the US was the International Baccalaureate Programme. "I'm happy with the IB because we focus on collaborative projects and creative writing and it emphasizes critical thinking," which she feels will be helpful in college.
Although she's looking forward to graduation, she will miss the Léman community. "Léman is very special because it is such a diverse community," she says, "Everyone is different but also very open-minded. I feel like I've learned something from every person I've met here."
Congratulations, Tracy! We know you'll be successful at Barnard and beyond!
