Why is math a favorite subject for Harsonam Kahlon, 16?
"Because there's always a solution," the Sunnyside High junior said.
"And when you get the solution, it's like, 'Oh yes, I can do it.' "
She appears to have all of the answers.
She has a 4.3 grade-point average.
As a member of her school's Doctor's Academy program, the aspiring pharmacist has volunteered the past two summers at Children's Hospital Central California and University Medical Center.
She's scheduled to return to Children's Hospital this summer as a pharmaceutical intern.
She has competed in tennis and softball all three years in high school.
"People ask me, 'How do you do sports, school and [the Doctor's Academy]?' " she said.
"I'm proud of being able to prioritize and manage my time."
Rachael Corley, Sunnyside's vice principal, didn't hesitate to nominate her: "Harsonam is the epitome of an Academic All-Star.
"She not only works to ensure she experiences success at the high school level ... she has also been strategically setting herself up for success in her adult life by being socially active and responsible to her community."
