Yoni Tsapira

I am a rising senior at Brookline High School. I am on the rowing team, where I am the captain of the varsity crew team and a three-year varsity athlete. I am also the vice president and co-founder of the economics club at Brookline High School. 

My interest in international relations led me to take the Global Leadership class offered at Brookline High School, ultimately leading me to Sherman, where he was a speaker. Since my father is Israeli, my interest in international relations originated from the Israel-Palistinian conflict. In addition, this aligns with my interest in languages, as I am fluent in Hebrew and proficient in Chinese. I feel that international relations and political science relate to everything and everyone and are very interdisciplinary. They affect both peoples day to day lives and the way the world works. Not enough is known about other countries here in America, which is very near-sighted. I also enjoy traveling; I have gone to Israel several times and previously volunteered in Costa Rica over the summer, and I plan on going to many more. 

I look forward to learning more about the Trebuchet and am eager to contribute in any way that I can.
