"Ha Ha Ha. Very funny." That is my sarcastic laugh to humor others. Here, it is to introduce myself to the many colleges interested in recruiting people like me.
As you can tell, I can be both serious and hilarious at the same times. This is how I stay so motivated. People can see it in the clubs that I am in, like Chess Club, CSF, Inkblot, and STAND. It can also be seen in my 146 total hours of volunteer work. But let's not forget my high academic skills as well. Grades + Clubs=Me.
But like I said, I'm not always so serious. I have a social life. And it's a great one. You'll see. I'll come
Extracurricular
- Chess club
- I love this club! It teaches me everything! Fun to play! It also helps me to become even more motivated about life itself. Just imagine all of the competition that people face withing the time frame!
- STAND
- I have to. People need help in the genocide. Africa is an often-overlooked continent that struggles in everyday life. The people of Sudan are among the least fortunate people there. Darfur is not just another place. Its people are being killed by the Ja
- CSF
- Here we have the most charitable group on campus. This club does food drives, goes to nursing homes, aids in military care packaging, and cleans the campus. This is not just for fun. It is to help out.
- The Inkblot
- Submit your stories here! No matter who or what you are, you must know how to read and write. But knowing how to read and write means that you must know how to be creative. And that's what this is for.
- Collections
- I collect several things that are valuable. I collect rocks, coins, stamps, and most recently, shells. These things are precious to me not simply because they look nice, but they provide a valuable piece of history. They are simple fragments of what I hav
- Hang out with Friends
- I'm normal. I have several friends. (Many who are on this Zinch-page.)
- Tennis
- If you were to meet me, you would be surprised that I actually know a little bit of tennis. Now to be honest, I am not on the school team. In fact, I am not even good enough to come close to being on the team. But I play it anyways. Because it's fun. I
- Taking Strolls
- I like to stroll down my neighborhood. It helps me relieve stress and helps me communicate with my neighbors. Just imagine the stories!
- Kaiser Volunteer
- Volunteer at Kaiser Hospital. This is something that I really enjoy doing. It's fun and it's easy. It's no surprise that it's one of my favorite hobbies! That's why I came back for a second summer.
- Volunteer at elementary school
- Aid in chess club. Elementary school kids are really nice people. It's fun watching them play chess for about an hour every Friday.
