Not every kid asks their parents to tour Harvard and Yale Universities when they’re 12 years old. But then there’s me, Alana Duffy. I live in a full, but loving house with my mom, dad, five cats, and dog. I have attended Charlotte Latin since the 9th grade and have just begun my senior year at CLS. I have always been fixated on furthering my knowledge despite the complexity or category of subject and spent my summer attending law, engineering, renewable energy, and leadership summer immersion programs at Wake Forest, Brown, and Cornell University. I have been a competitive equestrian for 8 years and have a 6-year-old horse named Dominga. I aspire to attend Brown or George Washington University like my mom and study engineering.
