Assignment 1 - Matthew Klee

My name is Matthew David Klee. I go by Matthew David with most of my friends, however, many of my teachers call me Matthew. I was born and raised in Lexington and grew up playing basketball, soccer, swimming, and tennis. I currently play for Henry Clay's tennis team during the spring but I train year-round with an indoor clinic at the Bluegrass Racquet Club. A personal academic goal I have for my junior year is to get a 4.0 GPA and successfully lead the three clubs that I'm part of the leadership of (Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Dance Blue, and Future Medical Professionals). Another academic goal I have would be to apply and get into GSP because of the heavy boost it gives your college application and the great experience I've heard people have at the program. This past summer I was very busy, I started a job at Chick-Fil-A, did a research internship in a lab at UK, volunteered at UK Hospital, and had a great vacation to Hawaii. The most meaningful moment from my summer would be working at Chick-Fil-A because of all the connections I've made with my coworkers and the overall excellent environment of working there (of course the money is nice too!). The thing that "geeks me out" is most likely playing and or watching tennis. I spend 2-4 hours 3-6 days of the week playing tennis whether it be matches or practice. I also really enjoy watching all the pro players in the various tournament around the world.
