My name is Kalani Lanes, I was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. I am 16 and currently attend Charles R. Drew Charter School. I am a mature and focused individual who takes pride in all avenues of my success (especially academic). I enjoy spending time with God, my family, and friends, as well doing as various personal hobbies. I have 3 siblings, 1 older and 2 younger. I have always been extremely interested in software/coding, engineering, and business. I take my health very seriously and participate in cross country and golf. I am also a member of the robotics team.

I have several ambitious goals that I am determined to achieve. My main objective for high school is to graduate near the top of my class with a GPA above 4.0. Some of my desires for the future are to succeed in software development and engineering and eventually start my own firm. I aim to make a positive impact on the world through my work and use my success to benefit others. To support these goals, I plan to pursue a degree in either mechanical engineering, computer and information technology, or a related field, at a leading tech university.  Throughout all this, I plan to continue working on my health and my golf skills. Ultimately, I hope to create strong relationships.
